Best Ice Skating Poems

If you want to fly, but are bound to ground,
Come twirl and swirl, go around and around,
Enjoying the flight other dreamers found.

Sash and shay while flying way fast or slow,
Keeping bladed skates soaring as you go.
Attach wings to your feet for fun you seek.
Take your...

I skate
with date

not ready
unsteady

cling rail
would bail

afraid
my maid

would skate
He-mate

leave rail
act male

fall down
I frown

but she
helps me

cling arm
no harm

we skate
up late

let go
oh no!

spill cup
helps up

red face
no race

to rail
still male

take home
not nome

miss
kiss

high school
now fool...

I take one step 
onto that ice
and an immediate shock
of electricity shoots through me
strength and adrenaline rushes through my blood stream
my heart sings
my soul screams, finally free
my body rips through the cage that it has been kept in for so long
sick of being confined to...

Ice Skating!

 

Catching the early train this morning
Excitement running through my veins
Ice hockey boots over my shoulder
Running through the back streets of town
Rain pouring, hair soaking
Ice cold sleet, rain, like needles in my face.

Queuing for entry
Eager to get in
Tickets in one hand
Backpack in the other
The...

At Lake Mission Bell, after the winter scared it solid, kids carve short stories in broken, confused cursive into the ice with pens of sharpened steel. It’s a beautiful  thing to watch geniuses compose their art. The other night, before the winter sun fell...

When the cold returns, with its flurry of white
And the large lake freezes with its thick ice,
I will also return to my ice skating years
Glide in the silence and twirl when I can
Cleanse myself with every breath of fresh air
Moving with crystal scenes surrounding me
Embracing...

Let's go ice skating, like when we were kids!
We skated indoors at the Chicago Arena.
My leather brown case with peacock satin
interior,
And gold locks that shined like the morning sun.
Those figure skates, polished were my pride and joy.
The Arena was huge and had its own organ.

So proud we...

skater on moonlight
wearing diamonds, pearls in hair
fun in frosty air

moonbeams for sunbeams
darkly calm on frozen lake
glide softly as dreams

skater of starlight
feeling joy that comes from peace
hues stained black and white...

Skating upon Saturn's rings, on the outskirts of gold,
executing my double axel, in the brisk, season of cold.
The sole sound is of ice skates, spraying bits behind;
In rich, purple dusk, of the chaotic universe entwined.
A wide-eyed dreamer, in the red heartbeat of fantasy,
does slow twirls...

The snow fell like white tinselled stars.
She was in love, inhaling of planet, Mars
Studying his angel, silken strands of hair.
Oh, how longingly, his warm love to share!
On Arctic-like ice, he did most happily kneel.
Tightening her white skates, with glistening
blades of steel!
Winter’s precious moon lavishly did...

Fun

Skating on thin ice describes for some
that nice Deception--fun,
taunting the chill fathom
beneath the white skin.

Too much like spending
small change for me.
All that over-shoulder peeking
to be sure the depth's not there.

When one hard look would send
those enamel eyes 
crashing through 
a surprise of air....

Learned a valuable tip

You're probably going to slip....

We loved the luxury of indoor, ice skating at the Chicago Arena.
My skate case, was of , bue alligator outsde,with peacock satin
interior!

Gold locks, that shined like the morning sun as Daddy drove us in
The snow, for an afternoon of skating fun.
The figure skates,white, polished, were...
