Notes About The Poem

Written April 6 2026 for contest

Red Ranger Rider

In the concrete jungle
I go riding my bike
My tummy rumbles
There’s no food tonight

I’m not ruby rich
Street my playground 
Now I’m just a kid
Middle class lost and found

I see Ms Peaches
A well known store thief
In her bag she reaches
A sandwich for me to eat

In return I pay her
With my lemon loyalty 
I can be the little bird
Black yelling popo you see

I ride despite the dangers
On my thrift store 10 speed
In my mind I’m a red ranger
Like I saw on classic tv 

I fantasize as I ride
One day the moon I’ll see
Handlebars to stars I glide
On my bike I am free
