FIRST TIME SNOWBOARDING

#1. STARTING OFF

Standing on top,
building confidence.
Getting ready.

#2. SNOWBOARDING

Pushing off,leaving,
going down the hill-
frightened and scared.

#3. FALLING

Catching the edge,
falling to the ground,
scraping my knee.


AIR RIFLE

#1. CLEANING

Scrub the barrel-
becoming shiny.
Oil the hinges,
make it clean.

#2. SHOOTING

Cock the riffle,
load it up.
Aim the barrel-
pull the trigger.

#3. HITTING THE TARGET

Pellet hits magpie,
a little slap,
leaves it dead.
