Short Skis Poems

waxed skis glide smoothly
tracks on fresh, crisp, moonlit snow
frozen woodland sounds...

skis on our shoulders
     slopes covered with fresh powder
          smiles on our faces...

Sliding down the slope,
Looking like a dope,
Slipping through the trees,
Skidding on my knees,
Wish I'd worn my skis....

What Marcia can do with great ease
is travel forever on skis.
She skis between trees.
For her it’s a breeze.
Hey, look at her go, holy Gees!...

a squirrel on skis, whatever do you mean?
we run to the window
seeing it, and still not believing
I swear he gave us the bird as he skied past...

Skiing

Sing along the snow
Kindly with my skis
Ice in the roads
Icing on the roads is whiter
Not a single is colored
Gone are the days of summers...

Vacation
Beach. Jet skis.
Playing. Swimming. Skiing.
Relaxed, restful, stressful, tense.
Working, bill-paying, boring
Time-stealing, unfulfilling
Work...

wrapped in furs
a king skis to  battle - -
enemies shiver

The Dachshund’s a marvel on skis
Little legs that stop short of its knees 
It can schuss like a pro
Making furrows in snow
(Though its privates are given to freeze)...

Snowy week to test

Knife-edged thought of best.

In skiing's wunderlust

I was sure the skis would bust!

No, they were rock-sure,

Glittering more and more.

Actually saw the elusive Yeti last week
At Walmart buying a new pair of skis
Not at all out of place
Next to an alien from space
Let Yeti go first in line as survival I seeked...

A confirmed landlubber is my friend Pete
  At water sports my friend Pete can't compete
    Once he tried on some skis
    Almost drowned in the sea
  Going rafting? ~ Batten down Pete's aisle seat...

some   bal water skis teach
its long   music set the tone

I like to sit on my Grandpa's lap.
Eat lunch there and take a nap.
And even though my Grandpa's tall,
getting down's not hard at all.
I simply strap on my silver skis,
and slide right off his slippery knees....

Slippery hills in this snowy week 

Knees bent; more speed needs a tweak.

I’ll snowplow, turn skis stop in stance

In and out like an ice-ballet dance, 

No turning back on a bunny slope!

Gripping tightly up-hill to the tow rope....

He skis down the slopes
of a snow covered mountain
racing against time
and his main adversary...
avalanche in hot pursuit.

The state of flow, eternal Tao
Dance in the ephemeral now
A Bound mind will not allow
A Joyous downward plow
Soft snow, honored thou
Its own meaning endow
Feet atop sacred bough 
Snow cut by skis’ prow
Let me show you how

A whispered breeze, the squeak of wax.
Virgin powder, two ski tracks.
A quiet lift, an uphill ride,
Gravity again denied.

A rock, a lip, the skis take flight.
In air the grace an awesome sight
Slams to earth, a desperate spin,
Damn I caught my tips again......

Some ladies enjoy riding on their brooms
All over the house, into all the rooms
Gran rode the ironing board
Only skis she could afford
Off she'd ride, before ironing resumes

I had never seen snow skis before 1976
Did not know about the rich man’s sport
Every time I see a ski photo I remember those news articles
Claudinet Longet is accused of killing her lover
Spider Sabich is dead, murdered.
Her ex-husband Andy Williams stands by her
True love....

SKIING


Our skis sing softly all along
The snowy trail, and in among
The tall straight pines where we belong:
The silence echoes to our song.

Almost silent, the hill is fast;
Blows a kiss as we  whisper  past.
Ahead  - the sloping whiteness  vast.
O Never end!  And always last....
