FIRST SIGHTING

 

 

FIRST SIGHTING 

 

It’s  spring at last

and I’ve just passed

a cyclist in a cycle lane.

(When next will I see that again? )

 

His feet like egg whisks going round

across the unused  tarmacked ground.

He must be keen to ride his bike,

has public transport gone on strike?

 

To spot the sight was quite a coup

I’ve yet to hear the first cuckoo.
