Short Mountain Bike Poems

A gravel mountain path, is shadowed between tall 
      face ashen scab trunks, sprinkle occasional 
   carpet moss, ferns, shrubs, ivy vines, and fallen 
      live-in hollow logs. Underneath the aspen 
   crown, friends ride their mountain bikes under clear
      sky. An amusement roller coaster, appear 
   wearing down turns and bends, mark road behind them. 
      Heartbeat reverberate, swimming before them.

I got a mountain bike 
it sits on my side porch
it sits under a torch 
it should go on  a hike 

I got free beans from Mike 
There’s three beans in my  jeans 
That I’ve had since my teens
or since I was a tike 

bought a psych trip to Wyke
I didn’t take my beans
left them on the side porch 
all alone with the bike

The boy rides on the pavement 
on his mountain bike
across cracked slabs 
and tarmac patches
bumps and holes 
make him hold tight 
whilst cycling home 
for his dinner 
he pedals faster 
dreaming of pizza
or maybe its chips 
or possibly both
he's nearly back 
in time for his feast 
ice cream for afters 
or chocolate cake he thinks
his appetite builds
finally he's home 
The front door opens
the smell wafts out
Its mum's shepherds pie again
The boy gets back on his bike...
