Me and My Bike

My bike and I go everywhere,
to school~the store and to the shore.
I love summer it is watermelon time,
the best time of the year.
Oh no a car,
I said as I hit the ground.
Where did that car come from,
did they not see me and my green~red bike.
I could be seen for a mile with all my bright colors,
even flags and steamers.
I opened my eyes to a world of red,
then I saw green with black specks.
Oh my poor bike has watermelon tires,
am I dreaming~am I all right.
I took a deep breath,
I opened my eyes again.
I saw a pretty lady wearing a watermelon dress,
where am I~then drifted back off.
I dreamed,
I could not find my way out.
I opened my eyes again,
hearing a voice saying~how do you feel.
OK but where am I,
I replied.
You have been in the hospital for five days now,
you will be OK but your bike is gone.
No not my best friend,
I must say good bye.
Up and out the door I ran,
the bike from my dream was waiting for me.
I rode on my new bike with watermelon tires,
eating the cold fruit all summer long.
We both had a few new scratches,
but no worst for the wear and adventure.

Great fantasy read, Paula. Biking is a great pastime and super for exercise. You made this seem very personal and real despite the fantasy prompt. Meet a young guy every morning these days when I walk - he rides our subdivision streets without holding on to the handlebars. Congratulations on your win.

Oh, I'm glad this is only a fantasy and you were not really hit by a car my dearest friend Paula. I wasn't aware yet about fantasy contest before I read your poem. I'm so thankful. Take care always, my dearest friend.
