Colored skateboard ramp
With graffiti all over
Preparing for leap
I jump high into the air
Ramp is not for the leery

An uncommonly spry basset hound
was annoyed when his ears swept the ground
But his spirits soared
when he got a skateboard
Now he’d Doggie Olympics bound

The Skateboarder
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014

A skateboard he tried to ride.
He didn’t there long abide.
It went airborne,
It did not forewarn,
He landed on his under side!...

After receiving the present - skateboard,
I felt- that receive the best gift in the world.
However, an hour later my parents agrees,
That the best gift for me, is the lovely front teeth....

Time marches on so the gurus say
Brilliant deduction, the best for today
If time moved backward
Starting as an old bastard
Ending as a teenager riding a skateboard all day...

Sister Lucille enjoys skateboard riding
Weather and her arthritis providing
Lucille has skinned-up knees
From banging into trees
She has never mastered her colliding.

tricycle came first
and then the Big Wheel
later came a bike
rented rollerskates
skateboard was a gift

those were my wheels
feet over wheels
I love walking
soles don’t go flat

walk the malls
the casinos
and the parks

us two
nonstop

walk...

I am a goofy foot skate rider
Who loves to challenge my track fighter
We flip and roll our skates
Into the urban lanes,
On the ramps, curbs, rails and streets
Beaming fun, as we darkslide,
Jump, flip and fly
Just to turn clockwise, to
Make it home on time !...

Torn party dress
Grass stained knees
Dirt under nails 
A bruise on her shin
Missing a front tooth grinning

"I traded my doll for a skateboard"

Smiling mum sighs "the beginning"

i found a mouse
in my toilet
perhaps
it was

running round the rim
it's feet like skateboard
wheels rolling until
until taking

a dive
but it wasn't
an empty
swimming

pool
this time
no ladder
to climb

out of the deep
end for leaking
had made
a pond...

my skateboard aint got no brakes.
aint that the breaks? neh im just great.
i got faith that angels negotiate 
the paths these vehicles take. 
insuring i dont get smashed
to many pieces and break.

Today I had the chance to hold "the blue from rio",
A blue bird on a skateboard you should meet and know,
A fancy parrot from the happy meal kid's land,
Preening all his gorgeous feathers on his wheeled stand,
Visit the happy meal site! Join his feathered flow....

Dear neighbor Snark, can we please build an ark?
We could use little McCark’s elm tree bark.
I don’t know Marc, is this a trick or a lark?
Not if we include my cousin Clark.
The one Des Moines police use as a nark?
Yeah. Meet us behind blue skateboard park.
And be sure to include Shark and McQuark....

Angel riding a skateboard
downslope on the highest mountain
in God's creation,
wings folded in to increase speed,
approaching the ramp at the end
the heavenly host hold their breath
as the angel reaches light speed
and jumps high enough to land
at Heaven's pearly gate.

as a child the crescent moon would visit me at my bedroom window
his face lit up by his captivating smile we would talk hours in a row

i would skateboard on his crest for quite a time in the lull of the night 
in the refreshing glow of the suns residue and on the full of his light 

then always with a wink we would say our goodbyes
then always a slow vanish before the sun rise...

it feels like i’m walking on a hanging bridge
fearful
if the ropes might break
if my body would fall.

it feels like the first skateboard ride
fearful
if i launched the wrong foot
if my head would hit the ground.

it feels like a plane’s take off
fearful
if the plane would stay on air
if we would land right way.

and though i feel fear
but the feeling that i feel
is empty....

The secretion of a Lilly is often mistaken for the timbers of a concrete ball. Many a time is the goldfish singing for a curry. Golden gophers gluing glitter. A wolf dancing in a stew of peas is more happy than a porcupine on a rocket powered skateboard.ooooh grammar of framing a drugged frog is as indigestible as spinning around the earth twice after consuming large amounts of beer. Like a tidal wave then. Humming. Humorous isn't it. Turbulent tambourines turning tripe. Intoxication z....
