POETRY BY MOLLY
In school, we had to write a poem in second person. This is my poem:
You’re a Dolphin
You’re a dolphin, and you knew
That if you jumped from the ocean blue,
I would see you, leaping high,
And blurt out an awed, “Oh my!”
I like the way you twist and turn;
It makes the water froth and churn.
It’s fun to watch you glide and spin,
Right in front of the boat I’m in!
You’re gray and white, with lots of speckles.
They’re almost as numerous as my freckles!
You sparkle in the sunlit seas;
Your tail sprays droplets at my knees.
Your skin is slick, and smooth as rubber,
And though you don’t have as much blubber
As a whale, that’s okay.
I still love you, anyway!
