The Bicycle
The bicycle,
Is aged and decayed.
Sitting against the withered, old oak tree.
The handlebars,
Stick out like an elephants tusks.
Old, but strong.
The wheels,
Can barely spin.
Moss covered rubber.
The pedals,
Spin back with the
Gentle breeze of the wind.
The bell,
Sits impatiently,
Waiting to be ticked once more.
The cogs,
Stiff and still,
Listening for even a sound.
Hello Mica,
I really like the line ‘it is aged and decayed’ because it makes the poem flow.
Why did you say ‘the pedals spin backwards’ ?
Maybe you describe the bell in detail.
Keep up the good work,
Oskar
