Ski Sonnet - By Tom Wallisch, and Andrew Holson

[skimanskimanskim]

Fresh from WUHS creative writing class...

My hill is so big, it has metal lifts

The chairlift whisks me, to the top I go

The snow is SO deep, it blows into drifts

Sleds waiting at the bottom set to tow

The biggest jumps waiting, ready to slay

Getting inverted, always lost in air

The air beneath me, I do this all day

Never take breaks; I have no time to spare

With step and step, I hike quick to the top

As army soldiers set, ready for war

No signs showing, when I will finally stop

If I take a digger, there’s blood and gore

Hundreds of tries, to get the greatest shot

Check the LCD, to see what we got

- Andy Holson + Thomas Wallisch
