Snowboarding

Do you 
ever feel!?
Upside down
sideways
and bent
backwards?
Snowboarding
down slopes
of discontent
challenging
and 
dangerous
With
temperatures
on the 
flip side
of minus
 forty degrees
hellbent
 and
freezer burned 
pleading
Traversing
the 
powdery deeps
With 
a slope of
snow rattling
your 
bending knees
Freestyle 
jumping
turning atop 
breezes
while 
twisting inside
Thinking 
what a ride
While
 in flight
then
 flipping upright
while praying 
to land 
on a dime
with no 
broken bones
in a 
Wipeout
Just the
 shattered
 nerves
of an 
athletes time
in their 
moment
of 
free styling 
just shining
and stopping
on that 
dime
