Swimming

When the fish in the sea

Started looking at me

At first I knew

Not what to do


Should I flipper away

Or make new friends and stay

The look in his

Eye was the clue


His locked gaze was so strong

It did not take me long

To turn away

Quick on my feet


If I had stayed to play

He would lead me astray

And I knew I’d

Become his fresh meat

  1. I liked all three of your poems, but this one was my favorite. The shorter paragraph structure and rhyme scheme help it to flow smoothly. I also enjoyed the somewhat comical nature of the poem.

  2. This poem was fantastic! I love love love it! My favorite part was "He would lead me astray and I knew I'd become his fresh meat." Boys are just so typical :) keep up the good work!!!

  3. I loved this poem because it was fun and easy to read. The line "turn away quick on my feet" in the second stanza might can be changed a little bit to sound more like he/she is swimming. When I read that line I thought of running more than swimming. Just a thought! This poem is super cute!
