1. 15 Words or Less Poems: Unicycle



File:Einrad.jpg

Image:  Lukian

Wake up your poetry brains with 15 Words or Less (guidelines here)! 

Someone commented on the frog on the unicycle on the cover of BookSpeak, which sent me looking for a unicycle photo! Here's what this one makes me think of:

*  Maybe simple isn't ALWAYS better
*  Evolution
*  What clowns do in their off time


Here's my poem.

Ah, Those Were the Eons

Good old days
two arms,
two eyes,
two wheels

Evolved too far?

What does the image make YOU think of? Write a quick 15 words or less poem and share it in the comments!

Heads-up: I'll be leaving LiveJournal soon and moving to WordPress. I'll of course post here and let you know the details. It will likely be before next Thursday. Hope to see you over there!
