Our Emily (story)

I draw
a baby blue sky

where
marshmallow clouds
play like children.

Lakes are really
puddles
large like the
ocean

and sparkly from
the sun.

I draw
pretty flowers
and paint them with
nice smells

and lots
of cheerful colors.

A squiggly line
becomes the wind.

Blue Jays
are on shaky branches.
I draw strong legs
so they won't fall off.

Waves come
even higher than a cup
of rain drops.

They make loud
SPLATS.

I fall down
a rainbow
into the sea.

Now
I am swimming.

I see fish
with HUGE eyes.
Oh, it’s my mommy
and daddy.

They squeeze me
with happy hugs.

The End
