This is a cool Clarity Poem. It adheres to the form perfectly, but more importantly, sends a great message in pleasing diction.

The only suggestion I have is that the words long and endless mean more or less the same thing here. So that might give you the opportunity to replace one, say long, with another word to expand the imagery even more.

Excellent!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to read & comment on my poem, Skate. And yes, this is a subject near-and-dear to me, though I can't say much since this is supposed to be a "blind" contest. I will reply to you again after the voting is completed.

    have a great week!

I agree. It does take hard work dedication and pain-staking hours to achieve such beauty in a performance. You have written a lovely Clarity Poem. The artwork selection is the perfect compliment. Good luck in the contest. Be encouraged.

Excellent clarity poem. I'm very impressed with the clarity and timeliness of this lovely poem. Skating is one of the biggest events in the Olympics, and full of drama and ballet. The presentation depicts this event perfectly, as do the words of this poem.
