SKIING
by Kyra Yu
Pack up your clothes, Pack up your gear It’s time to go skiing It’s the best time of year We’re finally in the car All bundled up and cuddling fuzzies We’re ready for a long drive We pass the time with games and book We make skits with our fuzzies We munch on some snacks And maybe take a nap or two Look out the window! It’s snow! Looks like we have arrived It’s time to hit the slopes Put on our jackets Get out the skis We’re ready to go, Can’t you see But first, The lift tickets We wait as our parents obtain them The slips of freedom Waiting Waiting until We are finally free The tickets are here We’re off to the slopes Boots, skis, and helmets All in check The air is crisp, Snow falls from the sky It drapes the trees In sparkling white Icicles dangle off branches Dazzling in the sunlight Tree crystals I call them Inklings Book Finalist: Alexa Zhang It’s all so pretty Up in the mountains Soaring Soaring down the mountain Free as a bird Nothing can stop me now Oh no, Too fast I can’t slow down The end is near Oof! I crashed Right into a pole At least I didn’t fall off that cliff Get back up Nothing can stop me now The lift Omin and I share a chair Our butts are frozen, There’s snow in our hair From up above, Everything looks so small From up above, We feel so tall We are the rulers of this Snowy wonderland Tips up, Tips down Two silly girls The chair is our throne, The slopes, our world Hours pass It’s almost 4 It’s time to go Our legs are sore Our fingers froze, But we can’t wait To come back for more
We hope you enjoyed Kyra’s poem as much as we did, leave us a comment about it!
