My Tricycle -

~My Tricycle~

Christmas  eve,
I could not help but peek.

There it was, a blue and pinkish bike.
With streamers all for me...

A ride, I wanted to feel inside.
A surprise, I ruined for my eyes.
The joy I felt, a naughty kid like me could not hide.

Running back into my room, jumping with glee. 

Waiting and waiting...............................................

Christmas day, comes to life.
I'm all excited.. With the biggest grin...
Mommy walks me to my bike.
My grin slowly fades away.
A red tricycle, I start to cry.

I did not understand, why my older sister got the pretty bike.
My Christmas, ruined by a ruby red tricycle.

Mommies, hug did not comfort me.
I cried all night, and asked my daddy'
"How can this be?"
"It's not fair!"
"it's not fair!"

Daddy, had only one response..
"Sweetie, soon you will see."

New Years Eve**

I sit near the windowpane.
Staring at my sister ride her blue pinkish bike.
Even the streamers were laughing at me.

Night fall comes around..
It's cold and everyone is asleep.

I sneak my way into the barn. 
I stare at it~
My sisters bike!
The smile on my face, I still can't erase.
"This bike will be mine tonight."

I grab the bike by the handles bars.
I walk the bike under the stars. 

Two hours pass, and still I can't operate the pedals.
Finally I remove my shoes, and reach the pedals with my toes.
I'm off into the night, than suddenly I fell upon them rocks.
If only I waited for that push from daddy's hands.

:To Be Continued:


Lesson not learned,
My scars all accounted for.

    I was a really late learner when it came to riding bikes... I was about twelve I think. Though I don't recall stealing any of my siblings bikes this really brought back some childhood memories for me! Never know what to expect when I read from you...

    Oh, this is a great write about your tricycle my dear, PD. I've read this before but I wonder where my comments are. Maybe I was in a hurry and I forgot. We both love bike/tricycle I guess. I'm so glad you've read my ABC as an output of my experimentation. Thanks for your poem as guide. It was really hard to make one and Im not sure if I can make another again next time ha ha ha. Million thanks!!!! luv & hugs, leonora

    What a delightful story! I could feel the child's disappointment, and then happiness, when she tried to ride the blue pinkish bike with streamers. Well done, P.D.! Best wishes, Keith

    looking at this one again. I really like it, Irma. Yes, Alzheimers is truly a wicked disease. I have nothing but sympathy for anyone who gets it or who has to deal with it in their family. It's simply tragic.
