Dancing On Bikes : Sports Poetry

Dancing On Bikes

By Paul McCann

The race begins at  Strasbourg and they set off with chains on wheels ,   accompanied by an entourage of cars behind their heels ,

Bike riders from across the globe with their eyes focused on France ,               there is a bike that leads the way through the winding merry dance .

Standing high up on their pedals then and leaning around the bends ,all along the sidewalks the music of life it never ends .

Hundreds of shoulders are swinging and swaying to the same tune and their sweat rolls down and stings in the heat of the afternoon .

In green hills over the countryside the flowers and trees all grow ,and to a world wide audience the pictures are all on show .

There are sights so over-spilling with natures beauty jumping , as the tour de France’s riders adrenalin is  pumping .

As each stage comes and goes tactics begin to come in to play and the race is on in earnest  in the Tour De France today .
