CYCLING
Gentle rhythm , easy motion
Miles and miles of tarmac ocean
Reeled in underneath my wheels
How bumpy- smooth , how good it feels !
Air and rubber , man and metal .
Hand on handle , foot on pedal .
Up and down the pedals go –
Down and up the road below .
Getting somewhere , going nowhere .
Miles to go but time to get there .
Where I`m going`s my beginning –
Just the doing is the winning .
Now with effort , then with glide
A small life-cycle in each ride .
Energy , sublimely burned ,
With God's own interest - returned !

< How about this?
Thanks for the nice comment and the feedback ,Al. Since you're not the first person to have doubts about the last line I've slightly modified it , making a small change to the previous line to allow for it.Your comment shows you 'get' what I'm trying to say which is great- but its not flowing somehow- right? The idea here is my favourite one of the poem ( apart from 'tarmac ocean' ) and I really want it to stick .I tried your suggestion but if you read it out loud you'll see it has 2 beats too many , though it does make the message clearer.Hopefully the compromise I came up with helps. Thanks for taking the time ! -
Excellent
Though, I am not a bike rider but my poetry is. I think so I have some poetry of mine here based upon the sports only...
This is an excellent write, yeah! not to forget, exceptional also. This is a very smooth and flowing...just like a bike...if u watch Indian films...for u...Dhoom! (a famous movie on bikes)
