Ice Skating

ICE SKATING


                   It seemed like yesterday, the pond rippled in delight,until the
                   Cold wintry air, set out to spread its plight,
                   Enchanting Mother Nature, cast a spell with frost abound,
                   Silently the waters stilled, forming solid ground,
                   Knitted scarves and mittens, caps pulled over ears,
                   Axels, loops and flying camels, performed without fears,
                   Traversing around each other, squealing shouts of glee,
                   Invoking friendship, offering a bond of camaraderie,
                   Night falls, the wind howls, whisking them away,
                   Good night, it has been, a wonderful winter's day!

Reminded me of the fun at Kellen’s Pond when I was a kid. Great memories, thanks. John

I don't know much about acrostic form but I know a good story, well told. Before I read it again, I'll don my earmuffs and a heavy sweater so I won't get so cold. :o) Thank you for sharing this with all of us on the soup. Makes me think a bowl of warm soup would be good right now. :o) oldbuck

I enjoy Ice Skating so I think the story came quite naturally. Thanks for your comment.
