Best Sledding Poems

Winter slopes abound,
Flakes of white, are all around
More are coming down


Let's find a hill,
We'll sled down it,for a thrill
Trek back to the top




 This is a Haiku/ Senryu combo...Want to go sledding !...

Snowflakes arrive upon the scene

Showing off in grand fashion

Doing somersaults as they approach the ground

My eyes begin to sing!

Coating my city like icing on my favorite cake

Angel food cake with almond butter icing!

One more slice please!

I'll have a second serving!

Soon I'll be at my favorite...

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...

(S)now covered hills
(L)aughing with the speed
(E)agerly starting over again
(D)riving the sled, trying not to tip
(D)iving in the snow when it stops
(I)nitiating races to the bottom
(N)oses and cheeks red in the cold
(G)oing home to have hot cocoa

In Alaska they make crazy weddings
Participants endure some rough sledding
   Bride and groom pledge to be true
   In a large, freezing igloo
Consummation requires extra bedding...

bright azure blue sky
cold, crisp air circulating
snow lies crustily
winter resists death struggle
no stopping boys sleigh riding

laughter of children
playing in the winter’s snow
seasonal delight,
bundled up in heavy coats
sledding down the steep hillside.

Perfect sledding snow fell last night,
Children woke to a ground of white
Mid-March, of course, a novel sight,
Quickly they bundled up real tight
For a fine day of pure delight.

A perfect day for sledding – 
Lots of snow, but not too cold.
Though Henry tackled hills, his sister
Wasn’t quite as bold.

So I pulled her sled behind me,
As she laughed, on level ground,
While Henry and his dad (my son)
Were bravely downward-bound.

The kids were beaming, filled with...

Sledding snowman twirling the snow so high
Flecks fly up in the air, nearly reaching the sky
Winter wizened wonders willing a western wind
Frozen lake front gives snowman the urge to begin.

On a large sledding hill, he does loops and twirls
The children watching are amazed at his...

Walnut Hill was a favorite place for us
When the snow had covered the ground
The sledders would go and the saucers would glide
there was no other place, in our winter town
then dear old Walnut Hill.

We'd look outside, the snow four feet deep 
We would...
