Highway Rider

Bike.
Buzzed on beer.
Buttons black leather jacket.

Speed.
Stargazing.
Shedding all inhibitions.

Slow.
Succumbing
Steadily to alcohol.

Swerve!
Split-second.
Suddenly thrown into air.

Blood.
Broken bones.
Barely alive at nineteen.

This is really sad. I had once written a poem called "The Highway Wreath" and blogged it in the T section of the A to Z challenge for bloggers. My be I can send it to you. You seem to like poetry. It is a good way of comunication. Keep up. Take it from a sixty year old, poetry can keep you feeling young. Cheers

@Munir, Pri and Cynthia.

Thank you for the kindness. Do come back soon!

Poetry

when language like bubbling streams flow




when words are laid down to fit like lovers' hands




when you feel the essence of the poet from within




when swirling thoughts are caught in the net of rhythm



when images reel as you read




when pen and paper create a symphony




then, it is poetry
