 The wind is blowing a glorious gale, Goose bumps are dancing and drinking strong ale, Happiness is smiling an awesome mile wide, The heart is pole vaulting with ecstatic pride, Laughter is echoing from deep down inside, The reflection of a friend, securely, near by, And always the roaring of the engine's reply. Touching the artistic expression of God's creation, Diving into the strokes on the canvas of the nation: A sight seeing, majestic, Three-D animation; The orange globe setting, entices fascination, A bright full moon draws an eerie-infatuation; Up and down the mountains and valleys, From east to west, coast to coast rallies. Bouquets of flowers, become a treasure trove Of puppy breath mornings, inhaled through the nose. Hours of riding make an aching butt scold, But - soft, sensual, pillowing never gets old, As sweet thing, inclining, takes a tight hold, And heart pounding accelerating, Declares the adventurous soul bold! Mother nature is boasting exhilarating forces. Cavalry prances in formation as warrior horses, Snorting in preparation for the colossal attack; Absolutely no contemplation of a fall back; The senses amplified in an adrenalin flood, Envisioning 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' On this magnificent, mighty-lunging, stud! Omnia vincit amor TP [This message has been edited by Pressie (11-16-2006 04:39 PM).] |

Gentle Spirit, Your words are too kind.  The pic was taken in the shadow of the Beartooth Mountain Range this past September. Breathtakingly beautiful country! The only thing better, would have been a gentile spirit riding along with me.  Omnia vincit amor |

Friend Pressie, there is NOTHING like an early morning ride on the back of a Harley to greet the new dawn day. Truly enjoyed this, and your response. |

Chris, Your making my day! Thank you for commenting on my poem. ps You know that words will always fall short of the ultimate experience - the ride itself, but we try anyway. Thanks for the kind words! "Sir, if the glove fits, sit on it." I am most honored by your thoughts Sunshine! There is a well known acronym KISS that I try to keep in mind when I write. |

Touching the artistic expression of God's creation, Diving into the strokes on the canvas of the nation: A sight seeing, majestic, Three-D animation; The orange globe setting, entices fascination, A bright full moon draws an eerie-infatuation; Up and down the mountains and valleys, From east to west, coast to coast rallies. Sigi Pressie it makes one feel as if they are there beside you feeling the wind caress,seeing the glories of our Mother Earth go rushing by.Such a wonderful way to write!
