The green rind of the two-wheeler remembers Anne & Louis with legs splayed. They scream and laugh as they race downhill, then his feet with friction still the excitement, as he turns around and faces her, above the watermelon cache. The kickstand in place, as he plants a kiss on Anne’s closed lips. Famished, their transport would be easy eats - retiring would require a walk to the farmer’s market. They opt for training wheels, as well - oranges are sweet forbearance. 6/29/2022 Contest: A Watermelon Fantasy Ride To Feed My Imagination Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose

I can't imagine summer without watermelon! It's like ice cream without my favorite flavoring – vanilla! / Maurice

Quite original, though I prefer a watermelon to an orange. Hugs.
