Line Gauthier Poet ABC

Skating For Gold

Acing awesome atomic axel jumps
Baffling backflips and butterfly jumps
Completing camel spins and cross strokes
Dance jumps, dance lifts and death spirals
Eclipsing extensions and edge jumping
Fearless heights for fan spirals and flying spins 
Gracefully gliding across galactic ice
High-handed hydroblading holiday headliners
Icebreaking intensity involving idealistic idols
Jagged jump jabbing combos and sequences
Kicking back killer knockout maneuvers
Landing leg wraps and laudable lasso lifts
Music momentum for mirror skating moves 
Negotiating nifty new nimble numbers
Orchestrating an opening outrageous act
Performing in front of passionate patrons
Quantum quality quadruple jumps
Rehearsed till radically racy and riveting
Striving for split jumps and split twists spread eagle
Traveling toe step and throw loop and triple flips
Winter gymnastics on ice eagerly awaited year to year

Gershon Wolf November 18, 2018 at 1:16 PM All-inclusive! Nothing more to be added to this one! That's for sure. :) gw Line Gauthier November 18, 2018 at 3:46 PM LOL thanks, Gershon. Maybe just a cherry on top.

M. L. Kiser November 17, 2018 at 11:15 PM This poem truly has the energy of a gymnastic skater and I can feel it when I read. Fab imagery here. Line Gauthier November 17, 2018 at 11:40 PM Thanks for your most appreciated visit and compliment, ML.

Caren Krutsinger November 17, 2018 at 11:12 PM This is one of the best ABC poems I have ever read, Line. I am wondering how many YEARS it took, because it is exquisitely done, my friend! Line Gauthier November 17, 2018 at 11:40 PM Thank you so much, Caren. You are too funny. Much appreciated.
