Skater Boy!

Judey Kalchik's "Listen!" Poetry Anagram Challenge

By Angie the Archivist šŸ“ššŸŖ¶Published 2 years ago • 1 min read
My son, a Skater Boy!

Oh, he does just love to skate

Barring broken bones — typically, very little’s at stake

Practise is what it takes… persistence pays off!

Victorious… he lands that trick… celebrates with a succulent steak

As later, he relaxes on a deck chair — its teak’s golden hues, ever so soft..

He reflects on just how very much he truly loves to skate!

***

Inspired by my son... a Skater Boy.
