In preparing for this years poetry contest I reread last years winning poems. I was suprised to find a poem written by a 2nd grader titled "Mushing a Dog Sled" which relates to our March 7th post about the Iditarod. It is a wonderful poem and I would like to share it here:
Fifteen dogs run across
a snow covered lake
Gargantuan mountains loom
over the sled
The mountains watch
as the team moves
across the lake.
The ice gurles
as the team scampers
across the ice.
A breeze comes by
and the snow dances in the wind
Light blue sky brightens
the dogs hearts.
They are setting off from Rohn
and heading to Nickolai.
