THE BIKE RIDE
*^*
Cyclin down the road
On my bicycle
Skint keens I will have before this ride end
Wind whizzin by
My ears
A joy ride to be had
Once I learn to stay on the seat
pedal faster faster I go
Up hill down hill
Round the curls
And all over again I go
Teach me to cycle
Very impossible
Because um afrad Ill fall
Hold on tight
While I steer the handle bars
The bike it moves pedals steers
Want stay still
Once I get on
It wobble twist and falls
And do so provokes all my fears
Wheel fever
I have
I wanna ride this bike
Oh come bike please be still
Just a little ride
I want to have
Cyclein down the street
On my bike

RE CYCLE
Mary Poppins’ granddaughter tried
the magic on which mother flied.
Astride a bike aimed for the sky
to boldly go by shedding shy.
Unfurled umbrella held up high,
she forged on forth prepared to fly,
anticipating weightless lift
which would provide an upward drift.
But magic requires special stuff.
Each unique soul must sport enough,
Thus speeding hopeful Poppin jay
just cycled into Baffin Bay.
All was not lost; she passed this test.
with special stuff which made the best.
She revelled in her wading ride,
while Baffin was at lowest tide.

“I Want to Ride My Bicycle” by Claudia McKinney
ON MY WAY
No map in my pocket,
not a care in the world,
today’s an adventure,
I’ve been set free
from all those little things
that tend to bother me
and make me lose sight
of what’s out there to see.
So for at least
this one day
I’m closing my eyes
to the state of affairs
of the world outside.
I’m keeping them open
just wide enough
to see where I’m headed,
to take in the view.
And despite
the rain shower
and clouds overhead,
within my heart
and my soul
the sun’s shining bright
and not a single cloud
within sight;
I know deep inside
it’s going to be
a great day.
And exactly
where I’m going,
I’m not really sure,
but I’ll know
when I get there
and I’ll share it
with you.
