Early Morning Ride

Alex Hetteen
Grade 10
Roseau High School

Early morning, dark out.

Air cold and crisp

White exhaust smoke all around

Face, red and cold from the wind

Until its numb, then warm

Engine running lean and smooth

Sound of the pipe echoing

Lots of power, lots of fun

Freshly groomed, flat and soft

Fast through the ditches

Heart beat rises, responses quick

 No hesitation, tap it out

Hit, fly, and land

Wide open once again

Pushing myself faster, harder

This is my favorite time to ride.
