Airborne Extreme

Arriving for my first visit, not knowing what to expect
Instantly awestruck at the plethora of trampolines
Ready to jump feet first into a new adventure.
Bouncing up, down, in, out, to and fro
Over and over again. I spot the soft foam pit, 
Racing towards it, I take a leap of faith
Naturally full of enthusiasm and a youthful 
Energy that knows no bounds at the moment. 

Eagerly looking around the massive building wanting
X-tras like dodgeball, slam dunk, and the high-flying
Trapeze—where I swing through the air and land safely
Right in the middle of the blue and red squares of foam. I 
Enter the battle beams where I was defeated by an older
Male. Nearly two hours later, and all good things must come to an 
End. My first experience at a trampoline park was a success.

(An Acrostic Poem)

**Side note: I wrote this poem from the point of view of my 12 year old son. This was his first experience at a trampoline park called Airborne Extreme. He had a great time and has enjoyed the amusement center a few times since.
