I headed to my trails and found a bike parked there. This doesn’t happen very often.
Most of the bikes that come to my trails go on my trails.
But this bike is different – in more ways than one.
I see lots of people put stickers on their cars, but I don’t usually see them on bikes.
Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one on a bike on my trails before.
But this bike must be special.
It’s a poetry bike.
This bike says poetry is necessary.
Does that mean I have to write poetry?
Is it as necessary as eating, or sleeping, or going on walks on my trails?
Okay, I guess I’ll write a poem.
.
Bikes that write poetry
Are found to be rare
But a dog that writes poems
Can be worse than a bear
.
Wait a minute! What happened there?
Those words just came out. They’re not what I wanted to say.
That poetry writing took right over and started writing its own words.
Maybe I shouldn’t be writing poetry.
But I can’t stop yet. I’ve got to get that bear first.
.
I chased a bear
He’s no longer there
He ran over the hill
And I’m not sure to where
.
Take that you mean old bear.
And don’t come back either.

Ku, I was hoping you’d stop by today. I thought of you when I was writing these poems.

Oh Bongodog, you are a scream!
But I know just what you mean
Once the words begin to flow
They will never let you go!!!
Out on trail, you see a bike,
Maybe rider’s on a hike
Left his bike, where you could see
That he was a man of poetry
lots of hugs and kisses too.
sent with loves from me to you xxxxxx

You are a natural born poet, Bongo! 🙂 Amazing what a little sticker can do! 🙂

Thanks Marina. Maybe next time I’ll find a sticker that says to eat fish.

Why ride a bike
when you can take a hike
If you see a bear
get outta there!

That poetry bike really inspired you, B. That poetry flowed right out! I hope there’s not really a bear!
Love and licks,

Cupcake, there’s no bear. I chased him away. Actually, I’ve never seen a bear on my trails. There are some in the area but people and dogs don’t see them very often.

OMG, Bongo, suppression is not healthy! Don’t repress the Poet Laureate in yourself!

Kolytyi, I guess I just have to learn how to control that Poet Laureate so I only say good things about myself.

“Poetic irony means presenting two contrasting situations or cases in a poetic way , often involving a subtle sense of humour by saying things you do not mean.”
