entry picture

Four women side by side,

cycling

 

Their kinship cemented - like the

spokes on their bicycles.

 

They pedal proudly, against the cold chilly

air

skin fair, perfectly powdered

hair thick and strong.

 

Sisters bonding, swapping stories from

their day: Then they spilt -

 

wheels turn

different directions

 

Four women say goodnight

as the moon turns in.

Dear Belinda

Your poem paints a wonderful picture in my mind seeing the ambitious woman cycling through Beijing streets this summer. They are cemented and one can see the hard work the team effort in competing-Lovely piece of poetry.

Thank you,
Zuzanna
