A White Adventure

Slippery walk
Up the hill
Skiiers talk
With a pillow

On the top
Flurries break out
Trees pop
Snowflakes about

Remembering the times
Of opening up gifts
When it's a dime
Donated in a time rift

Giving a shove
The course downhill starts
Flying overhead is a dove
A taste so tart

Snowflakes flew through the air
Dodging a tree
Finding the path to flair
A flip in the breeze

A resolution in hand
Of goals to achieve
Decided beforehand
Not wanting to leave

The end of the path in sight
A flag to pull down
Skiing to the right
Focusing with a frown

Pulling down the flag
With a great yell
Down to the bag
Rewarded with a bell

Hearts and bears all around
Kisses given in delight
Giving cards to others in town
Holding candy to bite

Driving down the mountain
With a big trophy
Passing by a fountain
Sitting by another trophy

Watching the storm come
Huddling by a fireplace
Underneath a dome
Things that need replaced
