Poetry A Day Challenge 22: A Quirky Poem

Happy Wednesday Houston, The Mad Houstonian, here.

Welcome to Day 22 of the Poetry A Day Challenge by Robert Lee Brewer, of the wonderful Poetic Asides Blog, at Writer's Digest.

As he explains in his post...

For today’s prompt:

Write a quirk poem. The quirk could be a personal or human quality. Or it could be a quirk of fate.

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."

(My Day 1 poem is here)

So...what did I do?

 

I wrote this piece in 2006...

 

Bicycle Love by Kiril Kundurazieff

You ride your bicycle day and night.

You ride your bicycle near, and far.

You ride your bicycle whenever the mood strikes you, regardless of the weather.

You clean your bicycle, and check for problems Morning, Noon, and Night ( Well, at least once a day, or week, anyway. ).

You talk to your bicycle, maybe even read it bedtime stories.

You buy things for your bicycle, for bicycling, and to look good bicycling, at the drop of a hat.

You give your bicycle a name, and regard it as a him, or her.

You brag about, and show off, your bicycle to anyone and everyone.

You then smile with pride, and contentment, when folks compliment you on your bicycle.

Some of you even have more than one bicycle.

You ADORE your bicycle, ADMIT IT!!
