The Wood Toboggan
is an instrument
of good will-
it sits firmly on
the snow amid cheers
from others
sharing this hill
sliding slowly down.
As it gathers speed
avoids a shrub
& a pine tree just ahead
speed accelerates
in a meandering sway
crushes a top-side
nudge of snow
swings to the left
to avoid a hunk of rock.
Snow flies
birds create music
and eyes filled
with chill from that last
shivering bump-
a trip of pure delight
from top of hill
to sunbursts
below – just perfect
for a daughter and dad.

I mustn't feel envious! But
I mustn't feel envious! But the enjoyment well conveyed, and the memory. The driver seemed to be very competent too! Rhiannon
