Best Sled Poems

I remember how it felt to be
Roused from my cozy bed,
To be driven to our country school
In that big covered sled.

Daddy hitched it to his favorite team,
His powerful Prince and Teddy,
With drifts of snow where cars can't go,
That valiant pair was ready.

We had a little...

I was looking at the starry sky
When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could
Attach to it a sled.

I'd hurtle through the universe
Such things would I see,
Planets never seen before
And distant galaxies.

I could watch a super nova
Dodge pulsars cosmic rays,
And marvel at planetary rings
As...

Winters in Kansas have deep snow
One Christmas my "Bro" and I  got
A present given to us both
Which then it seemed happened a lot!  

It was an orange plastic sled
But we thought about a cool stunt
Using cardboard and some stiff wire
We made a cover...

Wind whipped his face, the dogs, they ran
Across bleak-white ice and snow,
Paid in cash by Rand McCorchoran
To Dawson, he would go.
Delivering mail, medicine, and booze
To a town still on the grow,
Earning tips from richer folk
Prospectors flush with gold

But the briefest hint of red arose
Catching his...

snowing, running, sledding

When snowflakes fall, the sleds come out
As children run and jump and shout

With boots and scarves and runny noses
(Also mittens, one supposes)

Frolicking in fresh white snow,
Their rosy cheeks and smiles a’glow.

Can anything make winter’s case
Like joy on any toddler’s face

As, in his new boots, he’s...

Santa’s Silent Sled

Santa's silent sled slid slowly over the soft snow
Over the soft snow Santa's silent sled slowly slid.
If the soft snow on which Santa slid his slow sled
Melted, how would Santa slowly slide his silent sled?

Winter knocking at my door bringing its presence
Trees boughs drooping with weight of its omnipresent 

Crystal flakes glide down from heaven unspoiled and white
Very quietly alight in the silent night

Noses and cheeks left frozen with its crimson touch
Our knees knocking and teeth chattering they won’t...

once an aged cab driver named fred 
whose snout shined very dainty red 
got a call from a bar
placing an elf in car
making him escort santa's sled

We lived in Charleston, West Virginia high up on a hill;
I wanted a Christmas present on which I’d catch some thrills.
Wooden slats anchored to curved blades of crimson red;
My fingers were crossed - Santa would bring a Red Flyer sled.

A rope in the handle bars...

On the night before Christmas got here,
Santa relapsed, got into the beer.
You might think he’s a saint;
after twelve, though, he ain’t.
On a rampage, he shot up the deer. 

Only Rudolph did make an escape;
the elves bandaged him up with some tape.
To get out of the...

A sleepy little girl once said
she’d like to stay at home in bed
	they said she’d miss the fun
	with sledding just begun
so she jumped up quickly instead...

One Winter
David J Walker
It is a drifter
	Named winter 
Who never
	Keeps promises 

One winter 
I moved into an igloo
In the front yard
But only for an afternoon until
Mother called us in for hot cocoa 

I loved to sled 
I loved to stand at the window pain 
And...
