The Winter Olympics

Pyeong Chang 2018 

The Winter Games, so full of life
The skis, the skates, the bobsled track
A time to shelve the world’s strife 
The Winter Games, so full of life
Young ice dancers, man and wife 
Strive to shine and lead the pack 
The Winter Games, so full of life
The skis, the skates, the bobsled track


Lindsey Vonn

Down the slope, eighty miles an hour 
We’ve never seen such strength and power
Cutting corners, thrill upon thrill
Lindsey Vonn, the queen of downhill 

Over eighty World Cup titles
Damage to her limbs and vitals
Many a crutch, many a pill
Lindsey Vonn, the queen of downhill 

Competing now at thirty-three 
Her last Olympics, this must be 
The skier’s credo, speed and will 
Lindsey Vonn, true queen of downhill  


   On the Olympic Ice: A Diamonte

                  Speed-Skater
               Lean,  muscular
        Dodging, darting, lunging
Race, competition, music, costume
       Leaping, twirling, gliding
               Lithe, graceful  
                  Ice-Dancer
