Bike Poems

Eh. I guess I'm somewhat okay poetry. I was bored, inspired and had a pencil and paper nearby. And these are what happened:

Around Lake Geneva (for/inspired by: Dan Levin)
pump, pump down the road
"just keep on pedaling"
your mind is set on consistency mode
the black seat is hot
your butt painfully aches
another steep hill looms; you'd rather not
but you have to, have to get around this lake
honk, honk of the car
you want to glare back, yell
or shoot them the bird
instead the zing of the chain is the only thing heard
a breeze, so simple and merciful
oozes through your shirt with ease
revealing the wet sweat, making your backside a marsh-Geez
you're into the forest now, darker and damp
only a few more miles till you're the champ
click click of the gears
as you go faster you have no more fears
behind you are dots,
mere blurs at your sides
you sing a song, clutch the brakes and grin
thinking back, that was a wonderful ride

Riding a Bike
open the garage
walk past the saws
grab the handlebars,
avoiding the car
kick up the kick stand
turn up the rock band
jump onto the seat
allow pedal and shoe to meet
turn right down the road
you'll soon be in happy mode
push down with your foot
steer to miss that root
look ahead to the sun
this is the most fun
clutch brakes for a stop sign
flick your wrist to check the time
click gears to change speed
pedal fast for the lead
though not in a race
this is to put a smile on your face
grin back at the sky
even if your butt feels as if it is about to die
gulp water down your throat
your current whereabouts remote
legs forever pumping
back sometimes slumping
be proud and quite full of glee
can't you see?
because you no longer are in a car, taking a hike
you are experiencing the most blissful of all: riding a bike

Hope you liked. I'll probably be writing more. Thanks for reading.
