Another penny goes into the piggy bank - new bicycle.

[Saving money was a challenge for many of us when we were kids. It was none of this "buy now, pay later" sort of thing. Every penny earned back then was precious and when that new bike was finally bought it was ridden with a sense of accomplishment and it was treated with great care and respect.]
This makes me think of my older son. Always trying to save money for something. :) (Aurora - with all my kids, I'm a good teacher for learning how to ride a bike -- need lessons? :) )
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

I saved for books and art supplies. As a result, I still can't ride a bike today. :)
Good one.
