Your poem is so descriptive, including vivid details to paint a picture of the "sassy" woman. If I saw her, I'd recognize her! The speaker must wonder why she was on a bicycle with another guy! LOL!

[She would be the one/remove]
With auburn locks and wearing red socks,

This line doesn't really fit the rest of the piece it's just so long and awkward, if you cut off the beginning though it smooths out the whole piece. Other than that I thought it was a really good piece. Great work, thanks for sharing, later daze.

Such a fun read this lovely Rhythm Poem for the contest - some quaint language enhancing the ambiance ''cranking away/bucking a stiff breeze' and a superb visual

I don't think it has a good rhythm. The flow is bumpy. I think the rhyming might hinder your entry. But out of the contest rules your poem is quite fun to read and the theme is entertaining.

A very well-written rhythm poem about a couple who are working together like cyclers on a tandem bicycle working together o keep going to reach the end of the journey.

A fun offering for this unusual contest - love the theme of a policeman watching the interactions of the folks on the street... ;) :) I would say that I found it a bit difficult to discover your rhythm here although the sprinkling throughout of rhyme was quite attractive... :) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;)

    Yvette, I found not following any defined rhythmic style very challenging,.

I found your poem amusing. The words flowed well and I enjoyed the description of the girl. I liked the picture you chose too. I am assuming that the guy who is looking for his sassy lassie is on a single bicycle while she is on a bicycle for two. Good Job!

I enjoyed the sentiment of this poem. I think the only corrections that might help are grammatical. For instance, the last line might read better as, "Not even I- though I'm a copper!"

You have a cute storyline for your poem and the picture is a good choice. As a reader, I felt it a little less of a rhyming poem and more of a free verse eithe the rhythm and flow. Good luck in the contest.
