Best Downhill Poems

The day was brilliant--Sol spreading diamonds in the sky-- 
When Kathleen and her father faced the slope, 
He with trepidation, she with hope.

They scanned the rise and watched like country rubes
As sliders paused atop the run,
Then hurtled down on sleds and tubes,
Jinking, jerking, shouting, screaming;
It...

Take life for an escalator
Go both through its ups 
and downs
Ride it like on an elevator
Expect both smiles and 
frowns.

Take life for a suspense 
novel
you and I unaware what 
the next day will hold
Meditate and muse, or 
this book of life just 
peruse
Pore over it...

This Wednesday we determined 
To get up the day with decorations,
To please the eye with ribbons,
To harmonize the moment,
To balance this and that,
To mystify an act.

The sky is ruddy and waiting
Like a ruby to be hammered out of rock.
The sun is a cold jewel 
Turning...

Downhill Skiing and Sledding

He had always found Hillary hard to face
Which is why Bernie runs all over the place
And he really never got to know her
Started sinking to depths that are lower.

Worse things ever he often had applied
Saying how Hillary was not qualified
She started crying...

Wind was chilly,
The path downhill.

Night was still,
Her eyes were filled.

Dim rays of lampposts,
Rays of resilience.

Through the darkness,
They pierced.

Guiding her slowly,
The path downhill....

Are You At A Place In Life That’s Going Downhill???

Perhaps you’re at a place, where your problems “overwhelm you.”
You just feel like there’s not a friend you can turn to?

You may feel like you’re all alone, and perhaps afraid?
There may have been many times when...

PS Muse inspiration: Corey Bryan

it's all downhill, Dilly Dally

Come take a stride with me, a to b

Actually, let me make that more tempting
Let's be onions rolling down the hill
Or strawberries, this will be A-MAZ-ING!
(we'll laugh as we go in circles and not know why!)

I know...

I live in Florida which is relatively flat…this means most of the time
the paths I walk are smooth and even…there are no hills to climb.

Today as I stepped out of my house the first thing I noticed was the trees…
reacting, just like me, to a...

The night was still
She took the path 
 downhill.

Without a will
Without a spill
She took a pill.

The night was still....

Downhill I came, hungry, and yet not starved. 
Great lines, something to think about (Edward Thomas) 
Woke up to the rain and the wind beating on my windowpane, 
Yet I thought of getting dressed and going there. 
A subway system, so far not yet up...

People's life was ruined and degrading almost instantly, said the CDC.
Things quickly shifted into an icky situation, devolved ugly by NPA.
Things went from awful to worse astonishingly, with SSA.
To be fair, things were a lot worse, obviously, because of COVID.
Originally, situations were commonly grisly, WHO
Despite being...

Lousy Downhill Skier

No matter what when you hear her testify 
Will then surely know on her you can rely
Complete and successfully get things done
Not away from big problems always run.

Have over and over repeated and repeated
Like Cantor only few things has completed
He gets maple syrup...

Snowy week ahead and I shall ski,

Kissing clouds, where lifts deposit me to vaulted heights.

Ice-capped peaks, snow drifts, and speckled trees,

I consume nature's eye candy, in heart-stopping bites.

Now zooming downward, my edges carve along,

Giddy that they shriek, a downhill skier's theme song!...
