If I had a bike

It would be bright and blue
My little device of divinity
I’d be that kid, the cool one
My bike would glide effortlessly
Like an aircraft 

I would have begged a little harder
As daddy saw it as dangerous
Maybe convince him of the joy
It brought with every pedal 

I longed to know its betrayal
As it drops me hard on the ground
Then tears roll down my face
And mother embraces me,
A lesson learned the hard way

If I had a bike
I would have smiled

    Hahaha, every one actually needs a bike its a necessary thing. I keep getting bikes that smash and fall apart from riding so enthusiatically.

    Bikes are freedom to children. Maybe that's why parents limit them. I had a bike, but only could ride it on my own street.

    Wow, this is a gem Ronny, I love how you could bring the feeling across even though you never had a bike of your own.. Love the idea of the bicycle betraying you when you fall off.. Stunning piece.. Thank you for your comment earlier :) Wilma

    We thought we were cool with bikes. The same mentality for cars. Cool bike, now cool cars. Nice piece,Ronny
