Notes About The Poem

A Show For Friends

Anxious, i started getting dressed, feeling great and on my way
               to visit a friend few blocks away.

I hopped on my new mountain bike and zoomed down
on a downhill not so busy street near by our small town.
It always gives me a thrill to ride as fast, passion such.
Feeling the air rush past me with the lightest of touch.

On the sidewalk, a group of friends were laughing together.
I heard one of them yell, "Where are you going Heather." 
I turned my back, I waved and let out a small giggle.
In moments,  off  and over a parked car. I did niggle.

As I laid sprawled out behind its rear bumper,
my friends ran over giggling. " You're a great jumper.
My pride was bruised, though I made an effort not to show. 
It was like being ran over by a speeding train, you know.
