    Here’s the first of a few that I made up while riding during freezing Saddles:

    Friendly snow flakes fall, Even though winter withers, Keeping cyclists chill.

    Hear plane here, see there. Floating on Foggy River, before the next storm.

    Ode Powerful Pete, Dueling for leaderboard 10th, Can we please now Rest?

    Reposting these from the commuters thread where I had put them recently. I guess the point of poetry is that you’re not supposed to have to explain it…. but just in case.

    This one describes how I hate the face full of grit and pollution you get while riding across the 14th street bridge when the winds are from favorable (actually unfavorable) directions.

    Southern winds blow strong
    Dirt and dust on fourteenth bridge
    Fast cars, gritty teeth

    This one is a reference to all the glass in DC and especially in SE. As a protest I’ve been buying beer in cans lately.

    Blossoms great on trees
    On the ground they obscure glass
    Glass shards cause punctures

    With apologies to Freddie Mercury, I did this as “spoken word” at a Busboys and Poets event. Sadly, no video exists (I hope).
