Pulsation
Rumbling, pounding, shaking, sounding,
Rushing, roaring, emotions soaring,
Screaming, dreaming, stomach squeaming,
Shaking, quaking, pulse is racing,
Leaping, squeaking, no time for speaking,
Dashing, daring, extremely scaring,
Churning, turning, muscles burning,
Ride the roller coaster!

Sounds like a tornado Rett
Wow your expressive write got me in a whirlwind. It is spell bounding (ing) and you got it moving. Good job Texan. Hope to see you soon in chat.

Actually made me feel sea
Actually made me feel sea sick reading it and as roller coasters have that effect on me and I don't ride them often I'd say it worked well here..now if you'll excuse me I think I need to find a bucket! :P

LOL Sorry Chez
I hear Dramamine helps. Never been motion sick except for twice in my life. One was playing a computer game where I was in hallways (I have a touch of claustrophobia) and the other was when I came down with vertigo. Wow, that was fun!
Glad you think it came over well.

Hi
I love the way this poem builds to a crescendo, it felt as if it might burst by the end.
