Weeping Waters

New jacket, new bike.
Old man rode
Wobbling unsteadily
Straight into a pond,
Frustrating the ducks.

Sometimes if it walks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's actually just an old man who rode his bicycle into a pond with his new jacket (lol). Have a nice weekend, Victor.

LOL Victor. Poor guy...I understand balance difficulties, especially on a bicycle! And, he got his new things dirty! :)

Hope this didn’t happen for real. One wants to smile, to laugh except for the weeping waters. Great imagery and last line! Fave!

While the spirit may dance with the vigor of energy, the body whispers of its bounds, a gentle reminder to those who have walked many seasons, excellent brevity, Victor

If you had put this into limerick form, it would have made an excellent limerick. Old people should know that they have some limitations, though their mind might be youthful. The ducks must have had a scare.
