This is absolutely beautiful! Your poem meets all the requirements for the contest. I love "Poets of gravity" - wonderful words. The artwork is the perfect compliment. Very well done - best of luck in the contest.

this is a great poem with a timely subject. You have done well with the syllable count for the contest. Your words flow well and paint a colorful picture of an Olympic scenario in skiing. No nits. Great photo art to complete your presentation of your rictameter.

Hi Poet!

Your richtameter is in grand form and you
sure have captured the 'skier' well in this
well constructed poem. Your word selection
is superb within that strict syllable count
and it was a pleasure to read.

Hi there. Thanks for the high payout. I found the first half to be nothing more than a statement. However, the second half is poetry and I enjoyed it. I would go back and tweak the first four lines to get your point across in the same fashion as your second-half approach.

Skiers dancing in the sky
Dancing with the wind
Flying with their arms
as Wings
But always coming to rest...
with their feet

Nice poem, congratulation!
