I take a big step to find the edge of the world.
I look down.
I look to my left.
I see a magnificent waterfall
It is cascading down to bathe the stars,
Splashing droplets into galaxies
Creating rainbows in the moonlight.
I look to my right.
I see a mountain range on the edge
A boulder tumbling
Down
Down
Down
To alight onto the trunk of an elephant below
That is riding on the back of a slow moving turtle.
Skipping, I make my way around the edge
Taking my time, enjoying the view.
Along the way I meet new friends
Learn new things
Try new foods
Take in everything.
Even if the earth is flat,
I plan on being well-rounded.
I loved everything about this poem! You incorporated so many elements. You have the strong imagery and flow plus you have the visual representation of going down the mountain. The last two lines made me smile:
” Even if the earth is flat,
I plan on being well-rounded.”
Wonderful Deanna!!!!
“I plan on being well-rounded.” What a way to end a beautiful poem. Impressive.
