French platoon
Pack of riders
Save energy riding close
Near
Behind
Dramatic
The peloton travels
As birds flying in formation
Slip off
Rejoin
Manoeuvre
Develop fluid center

Wonderful poem. Even in the most prosaic writing, the poetry is right there waiting to be discovered.

I have the idea that your source is non-fiction and, if so, the result is especially surprising and poetic, as PeterFrank says above. But then poetry is words and that is all it takes, along with the poetic eye. Maybe I will try one from one of my old nursing texts.

I was entertained … and I learned a new word (peloton). The source appeared to be an encyclopedia or dictionary? Great idea!

I had been wanting to write a poem concerning peloton and there it was. Right out of Wikipedia!
