| "Cowboy Biker" from Cole's Classic |
We are cowboys of the road
Raging forth from the asphalt
Revving the motor our war drum
As we raise our bandannas high
Signs are posted at every pit stop
“Wanted. Dead or Alive.”
Instead of heeding warning we ride
Our colts and mustangs into the wild
Guns a blazing and saddles a roaring
"Man, you gotta go."
In remembrance of Galen Haynes a.k.a. Mr. Knowitall and his Flash 55 brand. I may not have known you personally, but I'm sure your poems were grand!
I remember the days of riding with my husband. We usually rode with a group. All the noise, the miles, the road...great memories.
ReplyDeleteI've never rode a motorcycle my whole entire life, but I've known a couple of people who have. I've heard nothing but good times about it.
DeleteYou have captured the "cowboys of the road"!
ReplyDeleteKind of a statement if you think about it.
DeleteVery cool, and the picture so fits it. I sometimes envy those Cowboys of the Road. I tend to be a real homebody.

I have been a homebody for quite some time because every time I plan to leave on an adventure somewhere, something ends up ruining those plans.
DeleteCowboys of the road. I thinks that's how many see themselves (or we see them).. I love the picture too.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it is the most common diagram of a biker. I drew this influence from the Bon Jovi son "Dead or Alive." The one line in it that says, "on the steel horse I ride."
DeleteWhat a fine piece of flash..i could hear the metal and feel the dust...sounds like fun...
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like fun doesn't it.
DeleteYou have certainly conveyed the urge for movement in this poem, Kenn.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry, I was hoping that I conveyed the message good enough in a limited amount of words.
DeleteAnd you don't have to buy hay!
ReplyDeleteThat is entirely true. Now it needs gasoline... wonder if I traded for something more expensive.
DeleteHilarious image....love those metal horses! Galen would've give you a thumbs-up.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful comment. I'm glad to know that Galen would have loved this. :)
Deletea good cross-pollinization of horse and machine ~
ReplyDeleteThanks Grapeling! It has a little bit of a steam punk vibe to it doesn't it.
