my line from dazey rosie for poetry thursday...
"and then i cycled away."
there she sat on the side
of the road
bags in hand
fingers numb from the cold
i asked her
her name
she said lies shouldn't be told
(like ropes that bind,
they also fray)
i passed her the time
and then
i cycled away.

i used you....and not in a good way, I fear....
Sweet poem. Thanks for stopping by. I couldn't think of a title, then I looked to see if there were more lines, and there it was...yours. Thanks! -Robin
I adore this poem, especially that final rhyme....so, so good, a perfect nugget of a poem.
This feels so effortless - like it just rhymes accidentally - something I can never do. I love your parenthetical lines - so true.
i liked the way this captured a small moment...and the last line "i cycled away" seemed perfect, especially with the lowercase i
I love this too. It's simply perfect.
I love "I passed her the time"
Very good!
