Poetry: Roller coasters

by Nish Laverz

Created on: December 17, 2010

You stand in line

waiting your turn

watching as the roller coaster train goes by

people screaming with joy or fear

you cannot really tell.

The longer you wait

the more your heart pounds

are you scared or excited

your not really sure.

You reach the front of the Que

there's no turning back

you get into the car

sit in the seat

pull down the restraint and wait

your heart continues to pound

a young lad comes along

checking your fastend in right

then the train starts moving off.

Up the ramp you go

Clank, Clanck, Clank

'You try to stay calm

but thoughts of what could go wrong

come into your head

making you panic

top of the hill

take a deep breath in

but dare you put your hands in the air?

on the way down

you need to breath out again

that wasn't to bad you think to yourself as you go up and then down again

by the end of the ride

you are high

your adrenalin is pumping through you

you get out of the car

but don't get very far

as you find yourself queing again.
