Matt Caliri Poet Acrostic

To Ride a Bike In the Year 2010

How would it be to ride a bike into the new year?
Awesome in the name of the environment,
Play-like with energy, the man-child seeks no 
Pity or placement, planetary alignment is his 
Yuletide, his sun spray, his angel's glance,
Nothing would breech the 2010 man's soul with
Everyone carrying the flame of the good like
Willows over glade, tendrils rounding trees,
Your breathe being as good as mine in 2010,
Everyone pedaling at once, every man 
Air-raiding pleas for what we need and not want,
Riddling the sins of our past into prosperity.

Carolyn Devonshire December 19, 2009 at 12:51 PM "What we NEED and not WANT" says so much, Matt. Wish we could all learn to respect our environment and doing away with motorized vehicles might be an inconvenience, but Mother Nature would sure be boasting a smile! Merry Christmas, my friend. This is another awesome write from your talented soul. Love, Carolyn
