“Speed”
The key is turned, gas begins to burnThe pistons start to pump, the wheels begin to turnThe driver drops the clutchThe car needs that soft touchThe tires screech as smoke appearsThe driver gets his ultimate fearThe car speeds away like a fighter jetThe speed poses a huge threatA corner comes up, the breaks get hitThe tiers scream to find their gripThe brake rotors glowTo make the car slowAt the exit of the corner the car get looseThe suspension takes heavy abuseThe cars exhaust is a lion’s roarThe experience is anything but a bore
Analysis
I like this poem for a number of reasons. First being that in general I like cars . Most things that I do, I’m involved with cars. Also I like racing, and this poem shows just a little bit about what its like racing. This poem has imagery because you can kind of see what’s going on through words.
Drag Race
A loud crackle feels the morning sky The engine that turns makes the Drag tires fryAs the tree lights up the cars get very loud and as they leave the line the cars departure a thick white cloudAs the cars go by a horific rumbleThe cars sound may cause you to stumbleIn ten seconds its over it all comes to a stopExcept for the winners who will be place on top
Analysis
I picked this poem because it tells a story that takes less than 10 seconds. Drag racing is my favorite type of
racing so his relates to me in that way. This poem also uses imagery. It uses imagery by creating a visual of
what it may look like and sound like at a drag race.
The engine
The engine is the force that, Drives the car on.From morning to night,From dusk to dawn. As long as it has gas and air,The power and the force are there.All the cylinders going up and down.The camshaft and crankshaft keep turning around.The engine is a perfect friend.Because it goes on until the end.

This poem is a poem that describes an engine. An engine is one of the most important things in this world. Often you don’t think about it like that but they run most things in our life. More people should learn how they work. This poem uses imagery because it paints a picture of how an engine works.
SportsmanshipWhen you enjoy the bliss of winning,Don't just stand there, happily grinning,Because the ones around you will feel bad.Just think if you switched places,Then look what's on their faces,Then you would be the one who's feeling sad.Shake hands with them; tell them it's okay,They may win some other day.Being a good sport is the way to be.Make them laugh, make them smile,You should go that extra mile.Say, "Someday, you'll be just like me.“By: Joey Dille
Analysis
I picked this poem because it talks about sportsman ship. In racing sportsman ship is important. You can either make friends or make enemies. This poem uses a rhyme scheme. It does so with two lines in a row ending with words that rhyme.
Oh well
When you lose the race.Don't try to hide your face.Even if the others do sneer.Watch your eyes.Try not to cry.Not even the tiniest tear.Don't let them under your skin.Hey, you can't always win.You might just be having a bad day.Just forget about them all.It's not your fault you hit the wall.Things cannot always go your way.

Analysis
I picked this poem because it shows that you don’t always win. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It shows not only racing but a life lesson. This poem also has a rhyme scheme. It helps grab the readers attention.
Your motor is roaring and your adrenaline is soaring.
You watch with your eyes for the green flag to fly.
Your blood starts pumping and your heart is thumping.
Your foot's on the gas, turning left and driving fast.
Red clay and clouds of dust roll through the air and man what a rush!
Here it comes you're taking the lead, going for a pass and picking up speed.
Now just like that, the white flag is thrown, meaning there is only one lap to go.
This is your chance, it's your time to shine, you take the checkered flag as you cross the finish line!
You're on top of the world now, waited all week for this. It's Saturday night racing, something you don't want to miss!By: Tia White

As I lay rubber down to the street,I pray for traction that I can keep,But if I spin and begin to slide,Please Dear God,Protect my ride.

Analysis
This isnt a poem but I thought it fit into my theme well. It fits my theme because it talks about racing. It’s a very true quote. Because if you hesitate even for a second. That’s all it takes to lose.

Nigel Mansell
Analysis
This isnt a poem either but I felt it also fit my theme well. This quote is very true. There are a lot of things that will give you a thrill. But there are very few that are more thrilling than racing a car and pushing it to its limits.

I wrote this poem as well. I wrote this poem because I like ford more than Chevy. For is just a better all around brand. I used imagery in this poem as well. I used imagery so that you might be able to see differences between the two without actually seeing them.
Just because I like to raceDon’t try and take me out of place Don’t skid and sway when im not there Still wait for me or it wont be fair Just because I like to race It doesn’t mean im reckless on the roads It doesn’t give you the right to pull me over It doesn’t stop me from having funJust because I like to raceStill I might finish in second place Cant wait until the big raceJust because I like to race- and im gonna finish in first place.

I believe in the In the speed of racesThe white smoke that pours from the wheel wellsThe loud tone roaring from the exhaustThe untamed ponies running wild under the hoodThe smell of burning rubber and gasoline
But the fact that smart cars and prius’ were ever made are disgrace
I believe in MustangsI believe in ChallengersI believe in Camaros
And I believe in whether you win by an inch or a mileA win is still a win.
