I tried ice skating once let's just say I'll stick to watching the moon shine and the young love.

I sure wouldn't try skating again at my age, I'd be afraid I'd break something by falling. Thanks for reading and commenting on my poetry, my friend. It's uplifting to see you have visited. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

I clicked on the first poem title I set my eyes on when looking through your list Bill - and it was this. Through your words I can sense the warmth of love set against the chill of the night. I can almost see carbon dioxide breaths exhaling. It's a very descriptive piece and made for a great read. Cheers - Gary

Thank you so much, Lasaad. With my wife medical treatment and physical theraphy, I'm not getting many poems written and posted lately. Her surgery is Dec. 9, so about three more weeks before my production goes back to normal. I hope things are going well for you Lasaad. Have a great week! Bill

Ahh!! I wonder if they were cold? I only have experienced ice skating once when I took the grandsons to a frozen rink to try and experience ice skating. I nearly frozen in the grandstand. I enjoyed reading this one and it put me to thinking. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my blog. Sara

The older we get, the colder it seems. :-) It is cold on the ice but we adjust to it pretty quick. Thanks for the visit and comments my friend. Bill

It's cHRISTian to enjoy youth & clean fun through others (+ nature) shalom shalom & COURAGE BROTHER! I'm only 63, but this is fact: hanging on to Jesus - even by the skin of One's teeth - assures us of His Loving-giving Grace Amen

Thanks for the encouragment to write longer poems, Susan. I prefer them also, but had a blizzard of winter thoughts to put down and they came out as Haikus and Senryus. :-) Thanks for the encouragement though. Hugs, Bill
