I know I had to model a poem after another in our poetry book. This poem just cracks me up, because it's true and completely silly at the same time. Weird.
Water
There was a time when I believe
I was twelve and my sister was fourteen
I believe we were both swimming
On a hot July day
I believe we were at my aunt’s house
And while she was inside talking on the phone
I slipped into the deep end and although
I believe I couldn’t swim
My sister could, and she fished me out.
My aunt came running out of the house
Screaming
I believe she was scared that day that
She almost lost me but my sister
She saved my life as I spluttered up
Chlorinated water
(I still like to swim, though)
