Poems, everybody! (WHACK!)

Um, the topic title is culled from one of my desert island films, Pink Floyd's The Wall.

I wrote a poem about teaching my wife to drive our Miata. You can read it here - https://consilience.typepad.com/teachers_lo...f-my-poems.html

Has anyone here written a poem about biking? If so, please share. I'll try to write one. Promise. (Right now I'm thinking haiku.)

Throttle wide open...

Oh shit! I thought Christmas comes

round but once a year.

(Here in Las Cruces and surrounding area, the police are quick to shut you down. And by golly, I can't afford any more tickets. Have had three since moving here in 2001.)

GPS points north.

Monkey butt howls in protest.

Stop your chattering!

He howls and shrieks, "STOP!"

Cop snarls: "Where's the fire, sir?"

I smile. "In your eyes, my friend."

Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

Hunter S. Thompson

And I to my motorcycle

Parked like the soul of the junkyard Restored,

a bicycle fleshed With power,

and tore off Up Highway 106 continually Drunk on the wind in my mouth

Wringing the handlebar for speed

Wild to be wreckage forever.

James Dickey

Here's a site for motorcycle haiku poems.

Finaly, after nearly a year idling, this morning I put 'er in first gear at Teachers' Lounge. I have a tee-shirt I wanna sell you hahahaha! (Coming soon as I can swipe Stella's camera.)

But first, I want to tell you a story from last summer about Little Coches and the holographic universe.

Plastic flowers on

the hiway... gimme double

shot! Fookin' looser.
