The exercise:

Write a four line poem about something that is: heart-stopping.

It's kind of odd not having anything to respond to except the prompt. I suppose I'll just have to make something up....
@Marc: well, that doesn't sound like something you'd normally do, but I suppose there is precedent in your writing already. I hope you manage to get it stuck back on, the right way round this time, and that there are no more... incidents that get you so upset again!

Heart-stopping
Dirty grey skies and the city's not much cleaner,
Ice forms on the windshield; everything seems meaner
A lead hand on the throttle, we're chasing down the Beemer, that
STOLE my mom's defibrillator after he'd been and seen her.

Greg - lol. That is all.

Love your opening line. The tale you've managed to tell in just four lines of poetry is pretty great as well :)
