Two at the back
One at the front
In full sway;
Spring a season
For graduations.
Note: Poem was inspired by the Midweek Motif, “bicycles, tricycles or unicycles” at Poets United. I’m also linking it to the Tuesday Platform at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.
“Full” and “Sway” clarify the humor of your poem, along with the illustration.
Very interesting tanka Khaya
Much love…
I can hear the laughter in the lines. Lovely. 🙂
Most exquisite tanka, Khaya ❤️
Luckily that void of inanity between youth and adulthood is normally quite short…for most; the rest become politicians.
It’s a big step, from tricycle to bicycle. I remember how terrified I was. Cool photo, too.
Appropriate poem for this picture 🙂
For being so short, it makes you think. Like the picture too.
Spring is the time for graduations. I am attending two this year. I also liked the photo.
A wonderful musing.. made me wonder why the bike was abandoned
Lovely tanka, khaya!
I would say they all tumbled off and ended up in the water.
What a nice looking bicycle to end up in the lake! Makes me wonder what happened that made it end up there. Makes me think.
That is a real interesting image!
Great words you wrote! I’m smiling! Big Hugs!
Glad you find the humour, Susan. 🙂
Thanks Gillena!
A good laugh lights up the world! 🙂
Thank you, dear Sanaa.♥
Oh no, not politicians. 🙂 I would rather see those years of youth and playfulness last a little longer!
Thank you, Sherry!
Laughter in small doses. 😀
Thanks Rob!
Ah, what lovely times! Enjoy the celebrations. 🙂
Perhaps, the owner lost that graceful ability to glide gently down the slope. 🙂
Many thanks, Panchali!
That’s my guess too, Rall. 🙂
Hi Bekkie! We live next to a university, and a sight of abandoned bicycles is rather common at this time of the year. Lots of celebrations underway with end of year term, celebrations and a prelude to our short but vibrant summer here. 🙂
Thank you kindly, Stacy. Big Hugs!
Spring is a season for graduations in Finland if i recall right.
Yes it is, Raili. And we’re already looking forward to Summer holidays. 🙂
