I snowboarded freely on the cloud, Felt floating crossing vales and hills. In minutes I was back to crowd, And waited for one more run in chills. In flash curved I through guarding trees, And shaved the snow to sky in breeze.
Snowboarding – Stanza
Working from home
Another hour shall I sleep. No one would know who is in office. Pretend online screen on I keep, And make a coffee with no fuss. Eleven o'clock I start routine To scan through emails of nonsense. Just mark conversations as seen, Finished, my morning round of pretence. I cook my lunch with Audible. Relax, I shall restore my energy. Delicious meal to make I am capable. Eat while connected VC no one would see. To follow lunch I shall nap, Digesting, I am sleepy. Awaken by a bug to fix asap, Why broken now, why me? With sweat and curse I fix the mess. Now time for afternoon tea. With cookie I pass rest of day with bless. Congratulate myself with whiskey. No one could see how I wasted time in Chrome. A lovely day, working from home.
Stanza – Niseko
Flights connected with bus, Niseko I arrived. Legendary mountains, winter wonderland. Bathed off tiredness, in onsen I revived. Old style homestay, with Kaiseki at hand. Fellow travelers filled in two styles buffet. Early birds would get best snows of the day. Like minded crowded in bus that led to dream's bay. Powder snows and famous views on the way. Warm and cozy I sat in gondola. Chilled on lifts before I praised the comfort. Put on gears after a bar of granola. Taking deep breath, arming in the mountains. Skid on ice at peak of double diamond trail. With embrassment and fear I stopped myself. Under eyes of worries I adjusted, went pale. Dying by icy snow is humor itself. Soon, snows were unmasked, and powders danced. Winds celebrated with a jump of the board. Flying in the air, and riding on clouds. Famous shall match its name, legends accord.
