I certainly enjoyed your poem and could relate to it as one of our youngest snow boarders won a gold medal for Australia. Poetry in motion is skiing. What skill and grace as they perform, seemingly without fear, years of practice. Nicely written poem and thanks for sharing.

OMG I wish I could ski. I remember going in school when they went skiing. It was horrible. I have so much respect for them. I also like to watch snowboarding. Also a sport I'm probably no good at but it's still fun to watch. Great job and I wouldn't change a thing. Good luck in the contest

SOme of the fliers on skis are truly poetry in motion. Your poem is a proper tribute to those of us who have the willpower and desire to ski. I have always admired them, too. Excellent. I can certainly see why this poem won the Rictameter Poem contest. Blessings, Linda
