Sledding

(S)now covered hills
(L)aughing with the speed
(E)agerly starting over again
(D)riving the sled, trying not to tip
(D)iving in the snow when it stops
(I)nitiating races to the bottom
(N)oses and cheeks red in the cold
(G)oing home to have hot cocoa

Loved although I do not like winter. You however made it sound so fun with your excellent acrostic.

I've only been to the snow fields a couple of times in my life, and it was a blast! Great acrostic!

I loved this because it brought me back to my youth. No snow where I live now but those snow days (no school yea!) we all grabbed our sleds and headed for Yale Hill. Those were wonderful days and your poem perfectly fills my mind with those happy thoughts. Thank you for writing this Heidi.
