I don’t understand decoration
When I ride a wave I ride for the tube,
Not three sixties
When I ski, I ski fast,
Through powder, bumps, trees or avalanche
If I designed a building it would be a cube,
Or hexagonal for maximum density
Is there a paradox here?
Not to me.

it is tricky and painful to ski through a tree
but trees is the same as woods,

Sounds very much like you, do you need that "S" on the end of avalanche as it sounds more crisp without it.
Seems that you won't take second place, Yours Ian.T

beauty, truth, simplicity, need no ornamentation...the vapid, ugly, and superficial hide in it. (can you blame them!)
your poem is an exemplar of this point, and particularly apropos of poetry.
thanks Al
It's probably a good thing I'm not an architect though,

I agree with Ian
This is so You and 98 % of the men . I think women can take care :P
I thought in line one
I don’t understand decoration
might be "stand" instead of "understand" but both work.
It is interesting that there seems to be something
of a male/female divide over the subject of decoration. I remember, I think, criticising one of your poems for using ~~~ etc. And I certainly don't like centred verse.
Understand is the correct word. I can appreciate decoration when it doesn't interfere with the prime function of the object/work/piece etc.
