Winter skaters on Christmas' ice
 steps slippery glossed in-flight, nice
 slide and glide from ice to snow
 shiver, shaken, frozen toes
fell on hidden nests of field mice....

skaters slide on ice

white mountains rise behind lake...

ducks long for spring thaw

wee frosted mirror queen
with cherished  frozen tundra
sharing winters grays

a glamorous lake
appeals to ice skaters
protecting her fish

wee frosted mirror queen
reflecting verdant treetops
sweet January...

Scratch the surface
like a skaters blade
dancing and gliding
graceful in the movement
of which
alters
the perfection
of smooth untouched coldness
to find 
icy particles
crushed together.
Allow it to melt once again....

==================================

Flakes from earths thin winter coat

coat lakes where skaters spin below.

Below the ice on which they float,

float perils hidden in the snow.

Mystery and marvel
A world once vast and unexplored
Encompassed in technology
Held in the palm of one’s hand

The realm of unanswered questions
Dwarfed by instantaneous answers
As fingers glide across the screen
Like skaters confident of the next move...

Snow falls the velvet gown
my hand imprints its deep pile
as if a memory
footprints of a fieldmouse slide and circle
a figure skaters choreography
the sun rises from above the cloud
as if a growing flower
in winter shine crystals glisten
are they glass beads or pearls?...

We rallied around and sang carols
Everything felt magical and alive
We drank hot cocoa and ate cookies
Before the Christmas Tree

Before the skaters go
Let’s give them their gifts suggested Uncle Joe
They stayed and sang carols with us
Christmas season was in full swing...

A picturesque scene revels in snow
As the snow globe turns skaters whirl
Arm in arm with their handsome beaus

A picturesque scene revels in snow
Lighted houses lined up in rows
Welcome mats 'pon verandas unfurl

A picturesque scene revels in snow
As the snow globe turns skaters whirl

A knife conceals identity in the sheath
Utilization comes in to question when
Embedded in the bread when touched
Without a handle or a blade, invisible
Inanimate as objects might appear
Ultimately 
How does it make impressions
Like skaters dancing over ice like butter
Or slicing through day and night
Never mind
It is a knife
That's all that matters...

The skaters glide across the ice,
Perform a triple axel, twice!
But sometimes fall and pay the price;
I don’t know how they do it.

For if a slip is somehow made,
Perhaps by tripping on a blade,
A beaming face is still displayed
As if they never knew it.

Until the point the music ends
When each performer comprehends
He’ll earn no medal dividends
Because he somehow blew it....

The understanding race
Much competition to face
The disappointing loss
Frustrations tou must toss 

The skaters dance
The underdogs chance
The pressure of perfection
The judge's selection 

The winner's adulation
Stands for a nation
The cheering crowd
Grows ever loud 

A skiers mistake
Acceptance one has to make
The pair skates
The hand shakes
How beautiful they glide
How nervous inside...

No life, no leaves, no butterflies in trees
No job, no fair, isn't life quite rare
No moon , no sun, Winter snows almost done
No clothes, no money, there goes something funny
No frost, no cold pains of glass,no icicle fingers dripping fast
No shining moon on frozen ponds, no frostbitten skaters in thick woolen mittens
No life ,no job, no clothes, no junk , just trash, modern things don't seem to last...

Crunchy the Christmas panda sat on the limb and sighed.
He only wanted one thing – a December hay ride.
He watched many skaters swirl and glide.
A bird perched for a bit on the twig’s other side.

Another disappointment Crunchy could not abide.
He had already been forced to eat fries that were not fried.
Uncle Zeke his favorite uncle had recently died.
“I just want a hay ride,” poor Crunchy panda sighed....

Walk across the frozen fields
Inhale the frosty air
Nap before a blazing fire
The tall tales that we share
Etching angels in the snow
Reward the inner child

Wage a friendly snowball fight
Obsess, let joy run wild
Nutmeg eggnog with cinnamon
Deep snowbanks edge the lane
Everything is fresh and new
Replacing autumns wane
Lakes attract the skaters
And to hills the skiers go, I'm
Never more alive then when I'm
Dancing in the snow...

Winter diamonda, snow that sparkles,
When the sunlight shines.

A walk to the park on a winter's day,
Where the sun shines and guides.

Skiers that caress the slopes of the mountain,
Snow that sparkles like diamonds.

Skaters where you could hear the skater making contact,
With the diamond like ice,sparkling like a jewel.

Friends sharing the beautiful weather,
A rhapsody and delight to be with.

Dancing, whizzing, whirling,
  Skaters swooping by;
Starlets busy twiriling,
  Pointing to the sky.

Judges tracing outlines,
  Fancy figure eights;
Hopefuls' unread headlines,
  Sealed in starry fates.

Breathless finish flowing
  From dazzling routine;
Nervous, never knowing,
  Verdict yet unseen.

Women's Figure Skating--
  TV's stellar ore:
Winter's Watchers Waiting
  Heroine's Encores.

Back in the day
There was many a name
For all the groups in school
We’d label ‘em all

The bros
Bro hoes
Asians
And nerds

Some were outcasts
Some were punks
Some were skaters
And some were lunks

No matter the person
Each had a name
It was quite the simple game
All in good fun

The divisive nature 
Of this attitude
Caused much hatred
And was quite immature

In the grand scheme
It was just high school
We could all act a fool
Innocence was bliss...
