Leap

Submitted by JulieJ on February 13, 2008 - 20:33.

The fear jolting inside of me
Conjures unrealistic horrifying images
But the embarrassment is worse
I have no control of my body
As it stands rigid
And refuses to move
Why did I think about it?
I finally let go
That first step propels me
I can’t stop
The second step prepares me
I brace myself to leap
Just push off the edge
And I do on that last move
Suddenly I’m in the air

Sledding

Submitted by mgilbert on December 17, 2007 - 17:49.

Walking through the snow
Puffs of white flying
With every step taken.

Dog comes running
Bounding with endless energy
Over the top of the snow banks.

Finally reaching the hill
Where you make a path
For sledding.

Running to get a good start,
Flying down the hill,
And hitting a snowbank.

The sled is far away
As you’ve flopped off while it kept going
