Colliers Way

_naturally_curious_

Fields of wheat, soft as brushed cotton billowing like mothers sheets.

Dog rose, wild geranium and clematis

weaving amongst the apple trees, inspired by discarded cores.

 Old rusty rails run adjacent to my bicycle wheels.

kamikaze birds dart across my path and disappear into the undergrowth.

strangers smile and greet me, their moods lightened by the sun.

It must be catching, I smile and pedal on.

    A yes those summers cycle rides along country lanes.... memories, oh to be there again.

  • Doggerel Dave

    Takes me back to my country cycling days in the UK- the best of times.
    Neatly and evocatively expressed.

    A really lovely poem catching a scene of life. I enjoyed it very much

  • Goldfinch60

    Super words, those rides (or in my case walks) with nature can be so wonderful and uplifting.

    Welcome to MPS.

      Thank you, I wrote it whilst I was still out cycling. I just had to get it on to paper, so I found a nice bench and the thoughts tumbled out 🙂
