I love my bike
with it I don't have to take a hike I go to a lot of places and see a lot of faces When I ride my bike. To go to school or to the pool I take my bike. I do jumps and turns and spins and flips on my awesome bike. I'm as happy as can be When I take out my keys to unlock my bike lock. When I ride I'm filled with pride to be riding a bike as grand as mine. Its beautiful color and sleek frame cause people shame who do not own a bike such as mine. Everyday I feel proud to say that I am riding my bike. Because without it I can't do poop But walk like everybody else. |

Red Blushed And All Cut Up
By Paul McCann Talking to myself there Someone had overheard. I was lost for a word. There was nothing to share. Embarrassed I was there. Left awkward and absurd . A broken wingless bird. With nowhere to fly there. Caught red faced there was I. Didn't want to be seen. I just wanted to die. I just wanted to scream. I'm so terribly shy. Lost for words it would seem. |
