Poetry
[Author's Note: "Poem" might be overstating it, I call these doggerel, but I think the official category is poem.]
You can stop if you try
But oh the climb back up!
Much harder just to get
To where you were before.
You could stop by accident
Suddenly, wrenchingly
Or coast to a soft rest
Having gone far enough.
When the ride is all done
Do you try to go back?
Or lie there, just smiling
Remembering the ride?
Wondering what was best:
Was it the ride itself?
Or back before the start,
The anticipation?
Is getting fat like
Sledding down a big hill?
