The Figure Skater

One day
Good day

Young girl
Sweet girl

Who dream
Not scream

To be 
And see

Herself
Not shelf

Fulfilled
Not chilled

Tumble
Not fall

Jump high
Aim high

Gyrate
And skate

To learn
Not spurn

Toe loop
Not hoop

Flip jump
Loop jump

To flip
And skip

Upright
Spin right

Then edge
Not wedge

Half turn
Not burn

Biellmann
Spin wan

Lutz jump
Not hump

Lay back
Not sack

Spiral
Tidal

Axel
So well

Twizzle
Dazzle

Camel
Not swell

Salchow
And show

Quick toes
Strong toes

Brave heart
One heart

Skating
Swirling

With pride
Not hide

A dream 
That stream

And seen
On screen

Skater
Blazer

Bow...
Wow!

Wow, this was fun to read. I was a figure skater when I was young, so I could relate to this one. As I read, I could see the skater on the ice. This poem has motivated me to write a footle I'm not so sure I will be quite as successful. I loved your lines " Twizzle Dazzle" So sparkly.

I like skateboarding too. You are a masterpiece, Miss Marikate! Figure skating is a very dangerous sport. Highly commended, but takes a lot of hard work. On your part, I believe it's not that hard having the experience early in life. I'm privileged for your visit today. Strength to you and stay inspired! Thanks again. Cliff
