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 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on May 6, 2020 for ABC CONTEST sponsored by ALLRIGHT POET and on November 27, 2018 for contest END NOVEMBER 2018 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on November 17, 2018

LOL thanks, Gershon. Maybe just a cherry on top.

This poem truly has the energy of a gymnastic skater and I can feel it when I read. Fab imagery here.

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!
