Best Of Anything

by Daniel Milano   Oct 12, 2009


Words on parade,
Drifting through my mind,
Twisting like a braid,
As a chill runs up my spine.

Oh the woes,
Of this icy weather,
No feeling in my toes,
But warmth exudes my sweater.

The words I speak,
Turn to mist like magic,
The world is asleep,
And it seems so tragic.

Trudging up a hill,
So barren with frost,
The seasons battled,
And sadly Summer lost.

Chilly air fills my lungs,
With every breath I devour,
Footsteps now speckle,
A trail fresh with white powder.

I finally reach the peak,
This is my story,
Throw my board beneath my feet,
And release a yell of glory.

Gazing down the mountain,
My gift from all the climbing,
Just about finished,
Strapping my foot into the binding.

One hop, then two,
And I'm flying down the trail,
My adrenaline is pushing,
It's already off the scale.

In the grand sense of things,
I am just a dot,
But I create Excitement,
From anything I've got.

A simple subtle Thank-You,
The least you have to say,
Are you looking for Adventure?
I'll teach you guys the way.

    I like the poem quite a bit actually (usually I don't read things on nature-ish) it's very well thought out and very well prepared, I felt like I was there beside you (even though I haven't seen a good snow in a while) and felt like I was racing down the mountain. I give it a 5/5. Excellent writting, keep it up.

    I enjoyed it, the rhyming scheme was very good. What really caught me was the flow, it was near perfect, to be honest.

    My only problem was this: I understand that rhyming is a good thing, it takes skill to do so and pull it off like you did. I just find that rhyming sometimes takes away from imagery - for me, if a poet is adamant about how the poem sounds (in terms of pitch and such) then the visuals tend to dim.

    Well done though, overall! :)

    This poem was really well done. The description you used allowed the reader an insight into what you were really trying to say. Each stanza helped ease the flow along and the rhyme scheme was nearly impeccable.

    "The words I speak,
    Turn to mist like magic,
    The world is asleep,
    And it seems so tragic."

    Easily my favorite stanza because it does seem that most people miss out on so much because they are too complacent living in the norm instead of taking a risk and actually Living life. Anyway great write.

  • Really good flow, well structured.

    Particularly liked

    "In the grand sense of things,
    I am just a dot,
    But I create Excitement,
    From anything I've got."

    It really puts things in perspective as to what we really are when we achieve something.

    Good write 5/5
