Feature Series

For biker scribe Eddie ‘Sorez’ Pliska, poetry is as much about capturing his passion for the moto lifestyle and the raw energy of two-wheeled travel in prose, as it is about documenting determination in the face of the often-harsh struggles of life. He has had his fair share of both.

Here is Sorez's exclusive and forward-looking May piece, titled SUMMER TIME, a hopeful missive about change of seasons and leaving your past in the past.

Sorez, a contributing writer for Outlaw Biker Magazine who also has a popular book of poetry out, graciously pens some inspiration for the NYC Motorcyclist community each month. You can read more about Sorez in a feature NYC Motorcyclist published in the spring of 2018.

Past is there for a reason
For it to be left behind
Only power it should hold
Is to be there to remind
Must no longer be a burden
On a highway sorrow bound
Dues paid lessons learned
Calendar pages have turned
Ride on into tomorrow
Better yet ride in now
Do not fret, have to let
Bygones just be gone
Wind is a forgiving mistress
Does not hold a grudge
Ride on through dark clouds
Forward on into the sun.
