Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Solo on a Tandem Bike, shows the self-analysis at work as the world tries to mold and shape what cannot be reformed or altered without a vote from the quorum of self.

I enjoyed your carefree free-write and after reading your notes I could identify with your situation and I live alone and often talk to myself to either build myself up of slap myself on the wrist for doing something stupid! Ha ha ha, there is a lot to be said for being self sufficient, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Hello my friend
Beautiful entry for the Oh, you are... are you? writing prompt contest. I like the poem story and presentation. I wish you well in the contest.
I know what you mean about being alone. You can have long conversation with yourself. Nothing wrong with that.

Nobody has to tell you To thine own self be true. This such a great true confession that it makes me want to know you in person. Well done. Good luck with the contest.

This is awesome! You brought "you are" into this without it seeming to be forced, and it flowed wonderfully all the way through. I love the descriptions of yourself too; they're very uplifting and positive. It appears your "chats to yourself" keep you bolstered up, rather than plunging you into an abyss. This is very inspirational, and exceptional, and I reckon this will trump the other entries in the contest. Good luck!

Your poem is vividly descriptive and thought-provoking. In tones ranging from very serious to completely carefree, you describe the extremes that make up life. "Feather in one hand rock in the other" says so much. :-)

Thanks for your comments. I'm pleased you mentioned that line - I was aiming for multiple meanings.

Very well crafted. It almost reads a journey through life. A time in our youth when taking risks and surviving was a thrill in and of itself; when we wore an "S" on our chest. Then you mature, but still, wait till things have to be done, because that is what adults do. Adults also give too much and then look back on the life we've created.
A very relatable and touching entry.
Well done, mystery writer.

I really liked how whimsical and uplifting this was. From the title I expected something quite mournful but it's not. There's also a really fun rhythm that feels like you're going up and down over uneven ground on a bicycle. Cheers and good luck. ð???
