Little Red Taxi Bike for Daily Photo

Sitting pretty,
For everyone’s like
The proud little red taxi bike
Cleaned and polished
Some say,
Even a little snobbish

It may be admired
And highly inspired
But
When the lights are off
It’s time to go soft

And start dreaming
Of the busy streets
Riding along
To a different beat

“I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike” Queen

Ride a Bike (Daily Photo)

Ride, ride, ride your bike
A bicycle or a trike
What ever distance you like
Feelings of a childlike
Life passing by a dreamlike
When you are riding, your bike

SL WEEK 13: I want to ride my Bicycle

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
In response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of ecology

“Life is like riding a bicycle: you don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling” Claude Pepper

SL WEEK 13: I want to ride my Bicycle

I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride it where I like
Sometimes, even a trike

With this simple vehicle
On a ride so magical
Ever so classical
In today’s world radical
And utterly likeable
Someone said impossible
Even behaviour maniacal
Never mind the icicles
And the cynicals
I just keep on riding on
My bicycle

Jopo bicycle, celebrating 50 years 11.09.2015

An homage to the one and only Bicycle: Jopo

jopo made in finland

“Finnish made, Finnish played, Finnish trade”

Jopo bicycle, celebrating 50 years 11.09.2015

In nineteen sixty five
It was made to drive
Vintage like myself
From the top shelf
It may be simple
But a smile with a dimple
When riding this bike
Which everyone likes

Trains, Planes, Automobiles and a Bicycle

On the open road
With a heavy load
A location in mind
Trying to unwind
Travelling on wheels
Has its appeals
But getting somewhere far
In only a car
Can be a chore
Changing the score
Picking up some wings
Has its wins
But if you want some style
And sail up the Nile
A boat or a yacht
Is worth getting stuck
If you want to do it old style
And travel with a big smile
The coolest way
With the hips in sway
Doing some recycling
Then, pedal a bicycle

The Truth Is Out There

“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.” Stephen Hawking

The Truth Is Out There

In
My Mind

Science Fiction
Science Fact
Utopia

The Earth
The Planets
The Stars

In
My Mind

A Galaxy
The Milky Way
The Cosmos

The Universe
The Intergalactic Space
A Void

In
My Mind

A Wormhole
A Black hole
A Singularity

Pi
A mathematical constant
The number 47
A mystery

In
My Mind

Spiraling
With random thoughts
With coherent thoughts

Universes and Worlds
Conjured up and destroyed

In
My Mind

Aliens and
Their spaceships

Humans with
Their flying machines

In the Here
And Now

I am
Peddling
On my Bicycle
The long dark road
A head of Me
