Little Red Trike

Many years ago had me a little red trike got scared, so took it and ran away, when I was just a little tyke. Had real long curly hair, took some scissors and cut it off, knew my dad would be real mad, so off on my trike I went, turned around at corner and went home. Dad was mad, but glad I was safe, said hair would grow back, but losing me would have been worse, he took me in his arms and gave me a hug and kiss. Little red trike, don't know what ever happened to you, but sure had a lot of fun with you, but none like the little trip we made to the corner and back. wrote 8-25-08

Ah, the innocence of youth. Some say it's wasted on the youth LOL The imagery's superb and I can see you cutting your hair too. Terrific flow and clarity my friend. Another well written piece. Michael

Yes, I had a red trike too! Have a picture of me on it at 5 years old on my fridge. My happiest days, me and my little red trike. Wow, I could have written this poem - well almost. I didn't run away. : ) Love, Shar
