The Gold Wing

On the weekend we'd go cruisingAlways Excited to be going somewhere We would check the map Then head in that direction.g Along the road we would travel Stopping at Tim Horton's for coffee Stretch ourn legs and sore muscles Before we continue onour way. So much to see along the highway Better view than a car Fun to be a passenger Great way to get around. We go out humid weather When it's cooler we dress warm For the rain,it's jackets and pants To keep us dry along the way So no matter what the weather We would be on the bike Always looking forward to our trips Because it is a new adventure

I had a bike once, Darlene, and I can relate to the feelings which you describe here...it gives one a sense of freedom and euphoria. // Have just read your comments below. Sorry for your loss, and may you find healing in poetry. Regards // paul

Very nice-well written-and thank you for your nice comments on my writings however i know nothing about writing a poem-I just put words together and hope that some people will like it-I use a lot of metaphors and that can be confusing to some people-Again-you are a wonderful talented poet-
