THE AVALANCHE 

It just seemed like a snowball falling,

That first intimation of attack.

Just the first boulder rolling

With a frenzy of snow on its back.

Then the white hill cracked with a loud roar

And a channel split open wide.

It was strange, the way it grew monstrous;

Sublime how it seemed to glide.

There was nothing wayward nor wilful;

Nothing rough or robust.

The great white shape settled gently

In a cloud of silvery dust.

Then all was still in the valley

On a blue and glittering day.

It was only then I discovered

It had taken your life away.

ZERO GRAVITY

Up I go! And up and over!

Floating up in space.

A creature of another world, 

Exhibiting  airy grace.

I stretch myself along the ceiling, 

Gazing at the floor!

Normal standing, normal sitting?

 Nothing but a bore.

A nudge and I float down again,

With my arms out wide.

I twist, I twirl, I writhe, I squirm;

I push from side to side.

Normal standing, normal sitting?

Nothing but a drag.

But oops! Here comes motion sickness!

Where's that paper bag?
