The air was crisp and cool all of the thoughts of the
past season rush to my head. We started towards the mountain. It was early
season not many people where lined up in the lift line. We quickly got to the
front, our skis felt restricting when we walked. We sprung to the blue line and
sat down on the lift. We looked down and all I heard was loud screeches coming
from the skiers on the mountain. The top was near and the lift stopped, we
forgot that the lift stops almost every time. We got off of the lift and I turned
to the side and there was a spot of ice and I almost fell because of it. Everyone
tightened their boots and it was a race down to the first break point. We were
off and we slipped and slide everywhere the first one down, my dad, second, Sarah
and third was me I knew I had lost so right at the end I spun in circles. The whole
day consisted of the same things, I cant wait for good snow.
I like the use of the word "rush" in the beginning. It is so fitting for the rest of your poem, rushing down the mountain and the thoughts rush through your head.
ReplyDeleteYour poem brings to mind so many memories of skiing with my dad and brother! I especially like the spinning in circles and the last line.
