The Rollar Coaster Ride

The roller coaster
Speeds downward quickly
Then turns upside down
Coming down quickly
To come to a stop 
Then start all over.

Hello Candace, I am not a fan of the roller coaster ride. The one I went on was in the dark. That was my last roller coaster ride.Yes a roller coaster ride is like life. That is how I see it. I look forward to reading your poetry.

Roller coasters are pretty cool, when you are young. No so much when you get older. I have ridden my share. Thanks for the fun memories, Darlene.
