Skating in the Clouds


She ice skates, now in the clouds.
Her figure eights wow, all the heavenly crowds.

She is amazed as the crowd continues to grow.
New, to heaven, God pleases them all  with additional, 
sparkling white snow.

The new arrival, misses family and friends.
But she will...

Figure skating is rhythm, dance, art, and poetry, presented as a visual masterpiece.

The rockin days of roller skating
Just traveling round and round
Hoping you don't bump into someone
Causing you to both fall down

The music would be blaring
And the lights would set the mood
Girls go around smiling at the guys
Hoping some guy would smile back too

There was always some...

If you want to fly, but are bound to ground,
Come twirl and swirl, go around and around,
Enjoying the flight other dreamers found.

Sash and shay while flying way fast or slow,
Keeping bladed skates soaring as you go.
Attach wings to your feet for fun you seek.
Take your...

I skate
with date

not ready
unsteady

cling rail
would bail

afraid
my maid

would skate
He-mate

leave rail
act male

fall down
I frown

but she
helps me

cling arm
no harm

we skate
up late

let go
oh no!

spill cup
helps up

red face
no race

to rail
still male

take home
not nome

miss
kiss

high school
now fool...

I take one step 
onto that ice
and an immediate shock
of electricity shoots through me
strength and adrenaline rushes through my blood stream
my heart sings
my soul screams, finally free
my body rips through the cage that it has been kept in for so long
sick of being confined to...

A roller-skating mouse
Rudely came rolling in my house,
He stuck his tongue out
As he went racing by,
He was taking all my cheese
As easy as you please,
It just made me want to cry.
So I went to a pet store
And paid just a little more
To buy a roller-skating...

It can be a little bit tough,
While skating in the buff,
In the fast lane of the freeway,
You know I need not say,

Especially to me,
When you need your skate key,
So I'd suggest you try first,
To use the service road,
or call a hearse,

A helmet may be wise,
Unless...

Only the cold crunching
of the fresh snow bunching,
and the tired leather boots
as I take that first step

Can be heard right here
by no other frozen ear,
for away I rushed off
to find silence instead

And all that is harsh
exists not on this marsh,
where the only prying eyes
belong to...

skater on moonlight
wearing diamonds, pearls in hair
fun in frosty air

moonbeams for sunbeams
darkly calm on frozen lake
glide softly as dreams

skater of starlight
feeling joy that comes from peace
hues stained black and white...

Skating upon Saturn's rings, on the outskirts of gold,
executing my double axel, in the brisk, season of cold.
The sole sound is of ice skates, spraying bits behind;
In rich, purple dusk, of the chaotic universe entwined.
A wide-eyed dreamer, in the red heartbeat of fantasy,
does slow twirls...

No seeds, spinach or carrots around;
no greens, or reds, or oranges found.
Only the smooth sliding elegance
of twosome as one in skating dance.

"Sequined Septuagenarians"
much smoother than fresh-ironed linens.
Golden, gliding glances so well-known,
minute, mellow movements, subtly shown.

A bittersweet moment hangs midair
as dazzling Old Smoothies sway with flair.
Both...
