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.

A fine write and pic M. Miss Berles heard any cuckoos?
Yes sir a fine write indeed & guess what... I am listening to a cuckoo as I type... that and a cockerel seem to be competing..... N.
Point taken Mike on the cyclist and sighting of Spring......... super read.
GOOD EVENING MIKE ~ Brian here burning the Midnight Oil trying to read ~ perchance to comment ~ on todays MPS Poetry ! I wrote a while ago about ALIGATORS ! But Ive never seen a Poem by your Goodself saying you had seen Your first ALIGATOR of the season in a Cotswold Pond ! AND WHY ? Because its not ALIGATOR COUNTRY and one might go 100 years or more and not see ONE ! The same is true of VELOCOPEDES ! You are not in BICYCLE COUNTRY ! Im not too far from CAMBRIDGE and in May I went to visit some Friends at the University and during the course of the day I saw hundreds of BIKES some static and chained to railings and some actually being PEDDALED by both M & F of the species. Mainly YOUNG (Students) but some Grey & White haired ! The % of Poeple who cycle (at last once per month) in CAMBRIDGE (58) ~ OXFORD (33) NORTHAMPTON (17) LONDON (16 !) LIVERPOOL (11) IN the UK in 2013 there were 3.3 million bicycles sold (mainly for children) and only 2.2 million cars ! Bicycles rule OK !
Seek UNCLE MIKE and YOU will FIND
Homo Bicyclo Locomotus Cantab !
Blessings to You & Yours
Yours as always BRIAN (Green Cyclist !) 🧡🧡🧡🧡
When riding a bike, the only gas required - the one produced by cyclist.
Enjoyable read
Those sights are so rare.
No cuckoos heard this year - yet.
