You captured the intensity of the sport and the preparation in this short, yet powerful poem. The format seems to mimic the blade of a skate. The quote as the final line is quite effective. -Joan

Yes, much hard work goes into skating, and then it looks so effortless. I love to watch Olympic skaters; it is fascinating to see them do those flips. This is well written and I like the picture with the blue coloring. Good luck in the contest.

Very nice, great presentation with the photograph, illustrated through the use of words, the hard work involved to be a top athlete in any sport much less ice skating.... Very nice... Good luck in the contest.

This was a wonderful portrait of how beautiful and hard this sport is. All the other sports take a lot, but ice skating and ballet are brutal. I don't have any experience in either, but I love them both and have watch the pain having to work so hard to be the best. Thanks for sharing such a lovely poem. God Bless You in the contest.

Very nice work here. I think you managed to capture some of the difficulty and trials that come from trying to attain a goal so many can't even fathom. Good work and Good luck to you.

As someone who cannot even stand up on ice skates I think it's incredible the things these guys can do. I love watching the pairs skating as I was a big Torville and Dean fan in the day. Archie

To the author of Skates, This a lovely little piece and a refreshing reflection of the skill achieved by a skater who is willing to put forth the energy to attain the gold metal. Carole

Your Clarity Pyramid Poem, Skate, is well written with a perfect syllable form for a Clarity pyramid poem. This poem describes Skate for the Olympics perfectly!
