SkiingUp the ski lift Above the groundToward the summitFrom the topDown the mountainThrough the woodsBetween two treesOff a jumpDuring the snow

 Against the windBeside my dadBehind my brotherBeyond my momToward the bottomWithout much trouble

 At the end of the trailWith my familySmiling.

The Titanic 

On the sea

Across the ocean

Through the waves

After dusk

Below the stars

With passengers

Beneath the decks

Without worries

During the evening’s entertainment

Toward the iceberg

Crash

  The Cubs’ Catcher 

At Wrigley Field

During the play-offs

Behind home plate

With catcher’s gear 

In a crouch

Under pressure

Up with a ball

Out with a reach

For a great play

Toward the winning run

The Birthday Present

At my grandparents’ farm 

During summer

For my birthday

Behind the house

From the barn

Through the gate

Across the fieldsOver the wooden bridge

Into the woods

On my new pony
