I'm taking the advice from the poet who has given so much to help us all, including students and teachers, write poetry. I'll be moving from A to Z, obviously needing to combine a few to make it all come out to 30. FYI—Sometimes, Paul Janeczko offers a prompt to write a poem that begins with the specific alphabet letter instead of a poem type. It will be fun to be open to writing in all kinds of ways!

Day Seven, words that begin with G. I chose "Glide"
Some of you may see my FB posts from walking at a nearby lake, watching all the waterfowl hanging out, "gliding" onto the water so easily that it feels impossible. I have flown in a glider, and glided more than once in a zipline riding it down to the ground. But, though I've skied, I know I will never ski jump, am amazed to see what those jumpers can do. Ahh, they glide!
Ski Jump
I’m anticipating,
always celebrating
a skier’s glide.
They're way up high;
seem to touch the sky-
an awesome ride.
I can only imagine the jump.
But it’s an adrenalin pump
to see them slide.

Linda, "But it’s an adrenalin pump". I am amazed that you glided on a zipline.
ReplyDeleteYes, because of school trips and the Rockies, too, Carol, lots of zip lining! Also, I've done a few in Costa Rica. Very fun! Thanks for coming by!
DeleteSki jumpers, ice skaters, skate boarders -- all the glides amaze me!
