May, we ride

HAIKUS

I want to ride my
bicycle I want to ride
my bike. (thank you queen)

 wind pushes into me
I am a sail for the wrong
direction - headwind

unknown

miles disappearing
with the wavering cadence
of one cog one ring

rl canon

in the town line sprint
my bicycle is last, is first
I'm racing alone

 unknown

eight years old, just learned,
moulton mini, single speed,
ten miles, with proud mum

the answer my friend
is not blowing in the wind -
it's riding a bike

jaberwock

if my wheels were square
or triangles; trapezoids;
life would be harder

 unknown

february ends
dread month of gloom and twilight
now come the march winds

unknown

my bike is heavy
a ponderous thing with wheels;
rolls to stop downhill
 unknown

wheels spinning around
flying past automobiles
the bike is freedom
