April 17th - National Poetry Month 2023

Good evening, Poetoters! It's that time of the day again! Granted, this is a bit early, but our first 'See The World' poems about bikes are ready. Today was one of the days with mood restrictions, so I did the best that I could. The guiding emoji really helped the last couple lines take shape, so maybe I'll pick a random emoji for my poems more often!


Noodly Note: Poetiters? What nonsense have you come up with this time

Adventurous Annotation: I could’ve done Poetoers.

Noodly Note: just kill me

Bikes are Interesting

Bikes are odd

Bikes are weird

Meet your impending doom or sit back and relax!

Everyone learns to pedal when young

No one sits around and hums

Riding around, across the street

Riding until you get dizzy

And then you do it all again

But around buildings, with your friends

Now for Noodly Girl's poem!


Riding Down

There's something about

The uphill climb

The hard route

The flip flop in your stomach

The bees buzzing

The sweat on your brow

Vision fuzzing

The clink of the chains

The imaginary rains

The bicycle's groan


There's something about the air at the top

The satisfaction

The impending drop

The still of the world

The buzz of the bees

From the uphill climb

You've been finally freed


There's something about the ride down

The incredible speed

The evaporating frown

The flip flop in your stomach

The bee's distant hum

The forgotten memory

Of from where you've come

The pedals twisting

The air misting

The gliding flight

The morning light


There's something about the end

The knowing of what you've done

The twists and the bends

The uphill climb

The air at the top

The ride down

Without hinder or stop

The light spring breeze

The flat of the land

The panting and sighs

Now you understand

People riding bikes up a hill, and a bike falling down the hill
Noodly Girl's image to go with Riding Down

Along with the lengthy piece, Noodly included a design! I believe the poem perfectly captures the essence of riding a bike for me (even though I haven't rode in months, and I can only do it with at least 1 training wheel 😭) and I'm hoping to be able to ride up and down my hill soon (if I can figure out how to ride it on flat roads first). I'll see you tomorrow, and Happy National Poetry Month!
