Hey! I just found out that 2 of my poems are being published this summer in Rubber Side Down, The Biker Poetry Anthology ! I'm so excited!

Here's my first of the 2008 season, written today after my teeny weeny 50 mile after work escape:


is that your bike Darlin’?

yes it’s my bike

I smile and point

to the button I wear on my jacket

that says so.


is that a Triumph?

yes, it’s a Triumph…..

I extol her British virtues

oh, I’ve had this conversation

so very many times but

I’m never tired of talking.


I show him mine &

he shows me his &

we agree it’s the best day for riding so far.


and now I’m all gassed up

so off I go after nods and ride safes

its May so I ride

through puddles of white

flower petals

fallen

from trees.
