Skiing



Sliding down snow-covered hills
keeping the glide going gives thrills
in sweet awareness enjoy the grand views
in concert with exercise, and inspiring muse
nothing better than an escape- just let go of fear
great rush of wildness and freedom on a day crystal clear

I agree this is a great poem but I can see you forgot the Compulsory phrase in text - snowy week according to the contest rules. I think it would have fit fine in line 5.

A delightful skiing themed Acrostic with lovely rhymes to go with it, Constance. It provides a 'rush' to the reader. I wish I was there on those slopes. ~ Regards // paul

Please, Constance I am having an issue here. I just created an account here on poetry soup. Not a premium member yet but I am finding it hard to submit my poem basically on the categories option. Please how do I go about it. I'll really appreciate your response
