An Icy Battlefield

It starts with an unforgettable roaring sound, Like nothing I'd heard before. There's people and protection all around, while my feet slide on the cold hard floor. Armed with only one simple twig, And two knives strapped to my feet. I move forward like a ravenous rig, Never slowing or missing a beat. The wind plays music through my ears, My heartbeat begins to race. Losing mind of all my fears, As my enemy becomes face to face. There's only once chance for this to work, So I focus in and take a shot. As I can hear the enemy allies lurk, I know I've given it all I got. Suddenly the sound of a siren, As I hear and become cocky. There's no sound of hit iron, Which is the best when scoring in hockey.

Matthew, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
