The Skateboard
by James Shammas (Age: 44)
copyright 03-06-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
It was the greatest run yet: my skateboard flying down the hill, me flying off, thumbs in the air, slicing through this dude's bicycle wheel, the spokes splintering off like shooting darts. He drags me down to my house: he'll make my dad pay, he says, Dad facing off... But my memory fades: a boy's face? a bloody nose? a fat lip? maybe a missing tooth?
Dad's I remember: his bulging veins, that sizzling scowl; hairy knuckles, too-- like an ape's. His beefy hands and sausage fingers remove his watch, handing it to me to keep 'it' safe. However it was, he shows him. Shows him good! We walk home, his arm heavy and hot around my neck. "Too dangerous," he says. "Too dangerous." Years later, I would still keep it under my bed, its brightly-colored decal shining like new.
'Bad Boy' it says, the tears flowing down the face.

Your poems are short epics. Each one focusing on a wonderful moment in time. Thanks for letting us visit your minds memories! Anthony

Your writing is getting better and better. One small critique though: Sometimes you use the present tense; sometimes you use the past tense. You should really choose one or the other to make the poem flow smoothly.

I only have two points left in my account and they are yours; you would have the whole five if I had them.
