Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Monorhyme

Roller Coaster

I board the massive roller coaster, knowing I will be thrilled       
Aware that my quest for excitement will be fulfilled
Climbing the first hill the anticipation does build
A plunge so deep, terror sets in, leaves me chilled.
Hoping all bolts on the ride are tightly drilled
Imaging that if one came loose, I could be killed
Don't take stupid chances, advice parents have instilled
Beating my fear of heights, my mission I have filled.

Richard Lamoureux January 31, 2013 at 8:44 AM Somewhat like life, ups and downs, taking chances and the thrill of overcoming fears and yes a bit of danger. Thanks for the ride. I also wanted to say hi.

Andrea Dietrich September 15, 2012 at 10:49 AM gosh, how did I ever miss THIS one. I just LOVE roller coasters. I'd love to go on one with you. they do not scare me, but now that I'm older, they make my stomach queasy and that is such a bummer!!!!
