Poetry Pantry #231: Ice Skating

"Ice Skating" by Kafubra

The winter chill settles around you

         And it feels like you are numb

                 But then you feel the gliding pull

                         And sudden warmth from your thighs

                              To your feet.

                                                        Eventually the winter becomes elegant

                                    Like a dove or snowflake falling to the ground

                         When you spin around and around

                 In twisting somersault of perfection and expertise.

            Zig zags

                                     Cover the icey floor you’re upon

                                                And you begin to feel the shift and sway

                                                        Carrying on to the music in the background

                                                                      Like jingles and jangles of Christmas air

                         Escaping from the outside world for just a glimmering moment

                Just to crash to your bottom

   And stand up tall.
