Laura Leiser Poet Free verse

Port To Port

We move with wheels that whip and whir
a human hive, spinning with a purpose 
cohesive and connected, in one accord. 

By the sweat of the brow, legs churning 
we flow with the wind, with beating hearts 
racing along roadways and up steep hills. 

Now we are cascading downwards
with great abandon, locked in, hooked
hooked on the ride and to each other…

…as we race towards the setting sun.

John Watt April 5, 2022 at 9:51 PM I can't possibly tell you how much I love this Laura! You have captured the exhilaration, joy, and fellowship of the annual port to port ride with such flair and style! I love the lines "a human hive, spinning with a purpose cohesive and connected, in one accord." I so look forward to riding again this May. A definite fav! God bless you, dear friend! Laura Leiser April 6, 2022 at 9:54 AM Thank you, John! I knew you would literally relate to this poem since you ride in the Port to Port with Greg! Knowing you has been a blessing to both of us! :)
