A budding poet and skateboarder

When I go rolling on my skateboard,

I feel the wind blow on my face.

My body glides along in freedom,

And then my foot keeps up the pace.

I must lean just right to make the curve,

Then get my balance back on track.

I look for the chance to do a trick,

I start the move….no turning back.

I catch the air and do a kick-flip,

The board goes round and meets my feet.

I get anxious as I start a trick,

But glad it's ended safe and neat.

My board becomes part of my body,

I cannot be whole without it.

What if it breaks and leaves me stranded?

How can I get there? ……..I’ll just sit!

I was amazed that he was so inspired writing this poem and took just a few minutes to compose it.  Your title is quite apt. Hugs right back at ya!
