For those of you who haven't yet seen this: http://www.candlestickpress.co.uk/pamphlet/ten-poems-about-bicycles/ Really beautiful poetry pamphlet- got one for my boyfriend, who loved it. Full disclosure: I work for this tiny poetry press, but that doesn't make the statement above any less true (bought the pamphlet long before I got the job).

Oops…the one above has errors and I tweaked it cause I’m a geek (sorry, it was early when I wrote it). Here is the correct version:
Ode to the Canyon Ride
Canyon hills all golden glow,
Coyotes laughing, deer dashing,
Pedals turning, my heart yearning,
Where shall I go?
Steep broken road, I am slow.
My pulse is beating, soul freeing
Troubles fading, fears abating,
So, now I know.
At the crest, I catch my breath.
Stalling slightly, leaning lightly,
Then departing, fast descending,
This hill has depth!
Wheels beneath me never give.
Motion thrills me, wind instills me,
Road winding, my ride unbinding,
Out here I live.

Ode to the Canyon Ride
Canyon hills all golden glow,
Coyotes laughing, dears dashing,
Pedals turning, my heart yearning,
Where shall I go?
Steep broken road, I am slow,
My pulse is beating, soul freeing,
Troubles fading, fears are leaving,
So now I know.
At the crest, I catch my breath.
Stalling slightly, leaning lightly,
Then departing, fast descending,
This hill has depth!
Wheels beneath me never give.
Motion thrills me, wind instills me,
Road so curving, ride so soothing,
Out here I live.
