Best Slopes Poems

The six steep slopes they gave me..  
yes, all were mine.

I can give them to you..
if you wish them.

Though they tend to be.,
unkind. 

Don't wait for them to love,
or understand, 
or forgive..

It's not their way.

They serve only to light a path,
show you the way.

Frozen On Mountaintops Snowy White Slopes

Fast fading shades of beautiful new morn
angelic rays melt silver frost away;
promising life in each new day when born,
flow even if mortal man fails to pray.

Angels weep from heavenly perches high,
gifting tears refreshing mankind's lost hopes;
Life and love applauded with...

THE RISING HILLS, THE SLOPES, TO QUENCH MY THIRST.
In the last century, the hopes were little,
Grasses they collected, yellow bananas, they peeled,
To move up the slopes, preparation was fore filled,
Oh the grower of banana trees,
To reach the top - in his absence, one had to...

One day, jogging in snow, Jack met Jill
on his third try, he's almost up hill.
     This girl learning to ski
     rolled her foot, hit his knee
down they go, Jack 'n Jill, what a thrill!

To the many hills that provide the most beautiful scenic views
To the people whose speech only provides melodic tunes of Bongo flava 
To the heat, that make every night a celebration 
To the cool waters, a swimmer's paradise, a fisherman's goldmine, a local's daily gift...

How slippery the slope is
That you just climbed up.

Snowy slopes come alive


Snow capped mountain peaks it's eyes on sleepy town,
as it slumbers in it's gown as daylight counts down.
As light fills in, town comes to play shaking the ground,
with tourist skis flocking the hills for trills be found.

Fresh powdered snow glistens the snowy...

Life is a series of continuous slippery slopes,
that we hope to maneuver without losing all our hope;
And when we find we’ve reached the end of our ropes,
we need to count on each other to help us try to cope.

So if you start sliding down into...

Three storey Queen Anne  house
set  far  back  behind green yards
With far reaching sparkling  views
Profusion of flora fruit-laden vines
Chickens clucking near front gate
Polished wood with leaded glass
Double doors powdered  gauzed
Elaborate  deep  wine  wallpaper 
Delicate  face ...

Shamed me down away
The losses higher than imagined
Briefly here we stay
The lessons hard to learn ingrained

Slippery slopes of peril
Hopes to derail
Progress slower than a snail
No pace to shout about

Still within us all
The seasons passing
Greatness superseding madness
Colloquial of passions sadness...

 winter wears a white coat
ice magnum opus wide range
let yourself defrost 
7/7/5 

looming snow-capped peaks
frozen water treks slowly 
sky has a somber color
5/7/7

frost flakes piling on the grass
sparkling like diamonds
dawn beckons with a bright smile
7/5/7

Skiing steep sloped slaloms one snowy week,
Knowing my courses from every stark peak.
In whiteouts of bitter blizzards bleak
Which lacked hazards to frighten me to freak. 
Nothing was too risky to stop my streak,
Getting ski heroes poled into a creek....

My beloved sister, 
people come and go 
Sadly it’s a part of life 
But hold onto those who are there for you

Not ones that are like mosquitos. 
Sticking to you only to suck out your happiness, 
Leaving you with an itchy bump 
Wondering why? 

So...
