poem

She flew down
Face first she went down the slide
Her teachers told her not to and her friends told her she was crazy
She went anyway
She always did
When she was younger her parents would take her to the park to play
There were other kids there who were to scared to even approach the slide
But she always would always go strait to the slide and push herself down
Face first
It was fun and she loved it
So when she approached the slide she wasn't scared
She could hardly wait
She layed down and looked ahead
She couldn't see the end of the slide because it turned but that didn't damper her excitement
She took a deep breath and pushed
It went much faster than she expected and soon
Splat
She couldn't understand it had worked all the other times, why not now
The fall had temporarily knocked the wind out of her and she could feel her chin and knees hurting
Screams escaped her mouth and tears ran down her face
A teacher ran towards her and she kept crying, not just because she was hurt, but because she was shocked
because she flew to close to the sun and was burned

  2. I love this! The last few lines were great: A teacher ran towards her and she kept crying, not just because she was hurt, but because she was shocked
    because she flew to close to the sun and was burned. :)
