Different morning

Different morning

A Poem by Quinn
"

An account of the morning I got hit by a car whilst on my bike. I'm fine now and nothing was broken.

"
“Be good”
“Stay safe”
“I will”
“I promise”
Every morning those words
Holding less and less meaning
But you say them anyway
You agree
Just so it feels like you might just comply

Coat on.
Lights on
Music on
Pedal
Every morning
Without fail
That was how it went

Look left
Look right
Pedal
Up the hill
Look left
Look right
Pedal.
At the top

Down the hill
Pedal
Soft breaks
My way
Pedal more

Crash.

Just like the movies
Muffled noise
Heart beat
Closed eyes
Sore side

Worried voice
No tears
Shaking
Tangled up
Distant memory

Just to think
5 years back
That was my heaven
I wanted it
I invited it
Now I can’t

Broken wing mirror
Bent wheel
Injured leg
Pained arm

Rushed phone calls
Flapping hands

Waiting
Waiting

Dads car
Police report
Paramedic
(He was hot)

Dismissed to go
Taken home
Hugs and kisses
Shaking heads

Laying on the sofa
Some water in my hand
Mum rubbing my forehead
“We told you to be good, stay safe”
“I told you I would, I promised.”

Very well done! I enjoyed the rushed atmosphere it had. The imagery was very clear and you could picture every scene vividly as it shot past you.

Thank you for the review.
I like how you wrote and describe some things with only a word which made me imagined the happenings in this poem. It's refreshing but this gives me goosebumps haha well done!
