Beautiful rendition of a skier in the Olympics. Even if you hadn't put a picture with the words, I would have gotten the full image. Very well done.
Congratulations on a very deserving win.
Regards, anabelle

Comment from Xylok
nice. great idea for a poem too! excellent presentation and i really like how you wait to the end to put the word skiers. they fly upside down, i like that, true true, not many do. poets of gravity is the best line though id say; nicely expressed.

Hi Xylok. I was glued to the Olympics. My father was a sportsman man. A living encyclopedia of facts, anecdotes, and events. He was a cyclist, sort of a couple of decades earlier to lance Armstrong. Now, each time the Olympics come, I miss him the more. I imagine he is at my side and we are watching it together. A spiritual connection with his memory. I have in my portfolio a short poem above him.

I love how you call the Olympians, " poets of gravity" What a wonderful use of words and a unique and clever way to describe them.
Overall a good piece and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Poetic Friend
Oh, Amada, how I can appreciate this poem! I am also awestruck with the abilities of these skiers.
All of them deserve recognition of some sort. Your poem takes me back to those Olympic's exciting moments.
Thank you.

I must say this poem was very creative, and the words just fall right into place, I like the phrase white grace airborne, great job.

Super poem. I like how it starts and ends with the same word. The descriptions are clear and accurate, and the whole thing works within the form.

In its short presentation it gives you a vivid picture of what your talking about. Plus the picture nails it for how you wrote it. great job!
