Premium Member It's All Downhill
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 you'd like to climb this tree But we are cucumbers We'd...

Premium Member Downhill All the Way
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 gentle morning breeze. Then…somewhere in the distance…in a tree…devoid of light… rising...

Premium Member Ski Freedom
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!...

Rolling Downhill
Tumbling down the stairs of misfortune Slipping on the banana peels of time A curtain came down on his opening act The Fat Lady singing —unrhymed (Dreamsleep: December, 2021)...

Premium Member Downhill As Usual
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 to standards, A job like mine, no one need to...

Premium Member Ugly Downhill
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 performed with keen care, it still ugly, said CIA. It becomes...

Premium Member Love Downhill
A decade of love now downhill A relationship gone all sour Mortal love rotting from within Of human might showing power. Shadow of emptiness in souls Exposed over years to wind and rain Like flowers fallen to the ground Feet trampling you, feeling no pain. Feeling a vacant dream like state We vacate the space of the heart Memories of happier times Draws a blank, with...

Double Black Diamond
A steep slope. Double black diamond Thin air Cold and getting colder First time for everything I am a little scared. Never done this before. Am I ready? Don’t know what to expect. No one does. Short of breath. Tunnel vision setting in. Long pause before the fast descent. With out consent, I’m nudged off the edge. Taking...

Premium Member Life's Downhill Slope To Heaven
Don’t get my soul until I'm born, Umbilical is cut you see, Life's costs begin (though child IS free!) My sin now starts as I suborn My mother's breast and warmth, I cry! This love's reward? I dose and smile, And gravitate to lullaby! My parent’s dream - it's all worthwhile. Birthday's a first; I'm truly me, And one day closer to my death, I...

The Path Downhill
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....

Downhill Sledding and Skiing
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 and is now bawling Bernie's platform needs some overhauling. What to me...

Lousy Downhill Skier
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 all over his sweat shirt Even when he once was a...
