A Biker's Ode, by Sue Clayton

14/2/2021

7 Comments

 
TRAVEL
Black leather pants and a metal studded jacket
Gunning the throttle to a mighty racket

Through a slipstream of wind I set off alone
Travelling the highway feeling “Bad to the Bone”

On a worn leather seat with handlebars high
I watch country hedgerows go speeding by

My whole body pulses with the vibrating machine
Whilst I wallow in the scent of the sweet gasoline

“Born to be Wild” my badass cruises the road
Astride my Harley to which I dedicate this ode

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Submissions Page.
