Hi BeHereBook Author Icon,

I chose to reiew your poem today for my review requirement over at "a very Wodehouse challengeOpen in new Window.

*BulletB* Form and first impression:

I've always enjoyed the repetitive and reinforcing nature of the pantoum form. You have the rhyme scheme and shifting refrains down pat.

You successfully convey the fast-paced action of the race in your poem, as was your intention.

*BulletB* Favourite quotes:

*Starfishb* "in streaks of yellow, green, and engine red."

This is one of the lines where you manage to convey the sense of speed. I like the use of colours here, as it helps the reader to visual different cars of different colours and design patterns racing around the track.

*Starfishr* "the stragglers push to reach a greater speed"

As in a real race, we must never forget those at the back of pack. They try just as hard as the pack leaders to finish the race in a decent position.

*StarfishV* "the fastest fight to keep a healthy lead."

Why just settle for first place, when you can win the race by one second, two seconds, or more. It always seems that the leader of the pack has to fight harder than those chasing him.


Thank you for sharing this item! Please keep on writing!
