On The Bicycle
Happy Poetry Month
April is Poetry Month in the United States. In celebration I am endeavoring to write a poem a day. Some of them I will publish here. I hope some of my fellow HP poets will join in, although I know many already write at least a poem a day.
Here is my effort for today.
On the bicycle
Like all places
I can choose
Although compelling
Immediacy
While pedaling
Persuades steadily
Every moment
To be in the flow
Of traffic vagaries
In the know of
Tarmac irregularities
Ready to let go of
Anger
At the impatient driver
Gracious
Towards the near miss
Ready for
Camouflaged pot holes
Suddenly appearing road kill
Demanding presence
Reflexes and skill
Love for self
Encourages humility
Helps me find
Love for the angry
Who do not care for me
Like my body
I bring it safely
Home
