That would be a haiku-esque poem written by a “biker poet,” and that’s usually an ode to the open road. The Boston Globe takes a look at the biker poet phenomenon and shares a few baikus as well. Here’s my favorite:

‘Cause you know the truth
We’re all just passing through
And heaven is just one more gear up.

(Via The Book Bench)
