Skiing
Up the ski lift
Above the ground
Toward the summit
From the top
Down the mountain
Through the woods
Between two trees
Off a jump
During the snow
Against the wind
Beside my dad
Behind my brother
Beyond my mom
Toward the bottom
Without much trouble
At the end of the trail
With my family
Smiling.

The Titanic
On the sea
Across the ocean
Through the waves
After dusk
Below the stars
With passengers
Beneath the decks
Without worries
During the evenings entertainment
Toward the iceberg
Crash

The Cubs Catcher

At Wrigley Field
During the play-offs
Behind home plate
With catchers gear
In a crouch
Under pressure
Up with a ball
Out with a reach
For a great play
Toward the winning run

The Birthday Present

At my grandparents farm
During summer
For my birthday
Behind the house
From the barn
Through the gate
Across the fields
Over the wooden bridge
Into the woods
On my new pony
Cantering
