When I read the lines in reverse order, it seems like an accident created the rust. I can see it in my mind. Very interesting poem.

How you use symbolism is amazing; the slow drag of biking reflects some loss of love. Impressive part of your design!

Ride on dear Nette, your poems delight, whether long or short. as for the contest poem on spiritualist, I chose not to join cuz its a subject too close to the heart, I'd rather not compete . But thank you for your kindness, and caring Love always, Pixie
