Hold Your Line - POEM of the MONTH!


Hold Your Line

"Hold your line!"
An opponent shouted;
A line on repeat
Dangerously threaded.

"Let your yes be yes,
And your no be no."
To avoid a crash --
Fast or slow.

From corner to corner
Or mountain and valley,
Hold your line
To maintain integrity.




Used by cyclists, "hold your line" is a phrase one rider shouts to another when the receiving rider makes abrupt lateral movements -- which increases the potential for a crash. All riders want to maintain the integrity of the pack. May the same desire be true in life.
