Allegro walked the pompous jerk
twisting and turning through hordes of people;
a Nascar driver on Manhattan’s business track.

Concise, tight, but contains a lot of vivid imagery in just those few words.
Oh, indeed.. the hasty approach to life is well-captured in three lines.
Thank you.
That was awesome! I love the image!
Uh-Oh... I think that might be me...
No! I'm polite when I fly through crowds! ;-)
'pompous jerk' says it all. Clever verse:-)
A compact snapshot of life around us, great!
Oh gosh! During my years of living in NYC, I got an eyeful/earful/jostleful of these allegricians first hand, You described them to a T!
One visit to NYC was enough for me.
That's pretty darn good for one minute. The tough part of this challenge was in not having time to think about it.
an exciting prompt leading to some exciting poetry.
ah...love the comparison of the fast track of city life to NASCAR. Not only the pace -- but also in the trap that can happen: going in circles, getting nowhere, fast.
You're so right, Paula. Thanks.
Excellent capture.
(I read your rubric wrong, Laurie - thought we had to give you eight lines no more no less. Why do I make life so hard for myself? I had to write prestissimo!)
I'm sorry if I stressed you out, but I'm glad you participated.
No still life picture, this one!
Oh I can see this person! well done!
