Motorbike

Orange seat,
Black engine,
Cloud of smoke.
Mud covered tires

The loud hum of the engine.
The heat of the exhaust.
The smell of mixing fuel
It’s off like a rocket.
MOTOR BIKE!

Climbing hills,
Trudging through mud,
Racing across fields.

The wind blowing past,
The heavy helmet,
The thrill of speed.
MOTOR BIKE!

A mound of dirt,
A slippery road,
A hard ground,
An agonising pain.

Shoots through my arm,
A pain so painful,
Screaming on and on.
Recovery in progress.
Slowly getting up.
Riding to safety.
MOTOR BIKE.
