Recently we had the pleasure of observing from our place of residence, a Rally, known as the Targa Rally. We didn't even need to go up to the road to see the cars, we could view it from our two storey home, what a race,what a conclusion..





Poem Artwork

Top Gear

 

 

Crowds gather from far and wide
to watch the race, experience the ride

Drivers primed rearing to go
win or lose, it's on with the show
 

Flag goes down, the race is on
off the start, adrenalized and gone

Through the gorge, hairpin bend
one false move, the race could end

Down a hill, momemtum gathers
hard to the chase, it's open slather

Along the straight watching the rear
crusing along, kick into top gear

Endurance test, is come this race
no novices here, no not the place

In this for the longest haul
eyes peeled, beat them all

Changing gears, up and down
nearly home, kick it and go to town..

Some crashed and burned along the way
was it luck or did they know not how to play

On the homestraight, flagman hails
once more top gear, the prize the prize...

She wails!

My twin brother used to run in ralleys. I am editing his autobiography right now and hope to read about them. I'm a top-gear man myself, having once owned a big block Oldsmobile Toronado like the ones the Unsers drove to win the Pike's Peak Hill Climb. Never drove anywhere less than 90 miles an hour, and occasionally hit 130.

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
