The silent scream of brakes
reverberated jarringly within
her resilience put to test
as her handle wobbled trying
to maintain the momentum
her past stellar glory, now just a myth
though she had not many years to show
but a few untimely, dare-devil knocks
hampered her freestyle fluidity forever
the perception that she was useless
was now an open secret
relegated to doing odd jobs around
she considers herself awfully lucky at present
and in her unbiased opinion
she is better off in loving, gentle, older hands
she is resilient but cannot forget
those reckless, inexperienced, young hands
that found speeding disgustingly delicious
making her shudder,
“I never want that again!”

I wrote and posted one, just one for each prompt. One for The Bicycle on my Starlightandmoonbeams site. I’ll do one for Eugenia soon. I can’t even begin to imagine doing so many at one time. It’s amazing! Congratulations 💜💐 You have more than four prompts there WOW!

I will read yours soon, Jen!
I have become lazy lately…from writing a post everyday without a fail, I moved on to only weekdays and now I post just twice or thrice a week. So I try to weave in as many prompts as I can! 😅 Sometimes the posts are just okay, sometimes pretty okay! 😉 So I really appreciate your comment. 😊 Thank you so much, dear. 💙🌷

You’re welcome Punam 😊 I get that but it’s too confusing for me. I’m sticking to one at a time. Stay frosty! That is, take care of yourself.
