The Speed Beneath My Knees

By Zinsser

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Speed Beneath My Knees I get set and give the signal The take off is in flight I pull myself atop the board With all my strength and might I place the rope's handle In the crook of my left arm To ajust the strap across my knees Falce sence of safe from harm Now I'm ready to really blast And do what I love best Tuck down low, go real fast With my arms pulled to my chest Flip from side to side I do And cause large walls of spray Staying low when I do My eye an inch away When I crash, I am asked And of course I say Please... For theres nothing that I've ever done Like the speed beneath my knees Connie McDonald Copyright@20012001, Written March 30th, 2002 © on Mar 30 2002 01:27 AM PST   0 • 10
