One poem by Charles Darnell

Boy on a Bike

Summer:

He rolls his bike out

Off the driveway

Into the street

Gaining momentum

For the big hill,

Peddling furiously.

He wants to see how far

He can make it

Before jumping off and walking,

Maybe this time...

Coasting down the other side,

Wind whistling by,

Even roaring with gathering speed

Sweat drying already

Half way down.

It’s hot and it’s summer.
