Night Cycling Poem by Ben Littlechild
Night Cycling
Through dark streets I ride
where cones of amber intersect the dark
In the distance dogs bark
And in gardens hedgehogs hide
All I can hear is the click of chain
Momentum increases, distance gained
Windows either side in darkness or light
Oh what life may hide in their veiled bright.
No other soul upon the street,
the occasional cat in distrust stares
It's gaze I meet,
in an instant, he loses care.
Homeward staggers a lonely drunk
Wavering side to side as if aboard ship
The voyage home to bunk
And unconsiousness slip
nice little write here, i find the night a mystical time and full of wonderment, i feel the last verse could have been better but overall a very good write, the first and third verse were very strong and i reminded me of a Philip larking poem, very well done! ! !
Very well written - couldn't put it better - sounds like my daily commute from university back to he digs late after studying too hard (1)
