Notes About The Poem

Ski Chalet

Slippery hills in this snowy week 

Knees bent; more speed needs a tweak.

I’ll snowplow, turn skis stop in stance

In and out like an ice-ballet dance, 

No turning back on a bunny slope!

Gripping tightly up-hill to the tow rope.

This is a beautifully written acrostic. "No turning back on a bunny slope! Gripping tightly up-hill to the tow rope". There should be such precautions to prevent a fall as it is a risky sport !

I'm enjoying the cold weather. The long summers are harsh here. Stay cool in Perth Australia, dear Harry!

Great descriptions of the learning experience- took me back to those days..first it was me, then my daughter and then my son…now they zoom past me and I am thinking of a fire and a drink inside a chalet :)

You did it right, family first, Susan. I was late to the party, my boyfriend was a traditional type, [Swedish], hot chocolate for us! Gloves and jackets hang by the fire to dry!

Aw still on the bunny slope Anaya, plenty of snow around the Tahoe area I believe, but you might need a plough to get there Nice acrostic, Now listen up! Julia put up a blog about spacing between the first and second letters, your poem might be discarded if the formatting is not as required, she’s pretty strict so be worth checking it out, cheers David

I think she meant...S_K_I_I_N_G. I checked her example "Skis"

Just checked out Pine knob ski resort, looks a great place for a greenhorn like me to try out my own embarrassing skills, don’t forget to space out your poem!
