Poems!



Today we did peer conferencing and it went pretty good. My picture was of me, standing on the sand at the beach of Gulf Shores. The poem is describing a girl going into the water and waiting for a wave to ride, but she has great fear is doing so.





Ride the Waves




She awoke to the heat of the early August morning


Humidity stuck in the air from the gulf, which lay yards away


She would go out to the beautiful beach, while the sun hit her back with unbelievable heat


How peaceful it was that day


Happiness overtook her with great power


She walked out further and further into the water, fearing the massive ocean might take her


The waves moved strongly, and hit her with great force


They seemes to be angry with her


She held the tube tightly in her arm, praying to God that she would live through this


Her father stood beside her, waiting for her to get on the tube


She did, and shook with nerves, as they waited for a worthy wave to approach


Here it came, with much intensity


She screamed, not from being scared, but from excitement, as it brought her back to shore


She stood up with confidence, and walked out into the water


To ride the waves again




I know it's long, and I still have some revising to do!
