Haiku Friday: Skating
Jerry Larson's photo above isn't from Minnesota-- it is from the Waco Tribune-Herald, which reports on an "ice rink" made of plastic sheeting that has been erected in downtown Waco.
Here in the North Star, meanwhile, it really is a winter wonderland, with three or four inches of snow on the ground-- and that snow is here to stay, since temperatures have been well below freezing. The town rink by my house should be up and running by the weekend, and we may have a little Osler League hockey going on.
Let's haiku about skating, then-- about your own experiences, famous skaters, or perhaps skating across ice in your car. We will view this topic broadly!
Here is mine:
There's no sound like it--
Steel blades cutting the ice while
All else is hushed.
Now it is your turn! Make the first line 5 syllables, the second line 7, and the last line 5. Have fun!
Love,
Mark

Rockridge pond hockey
Shoes for goals, Toques for helmets
Play into winter night
Players of all ages
Pick the teams by piled hockey sticks
All offense, no D
Enduring frozen feet
For love of game - purest form
Fond memories; fun!

She was six when she
performed her first solo skate,
and made her mom cry.
Spinning, her red hair
and red and white skating dress
made perfect circles.
Small bud, opening
to the wider world on a
shiny sheet of ice.
