 Snapshot Three

One Interesting Summer

  This is a poem about my grandparents in California

I used to go out there every summer

When i had to come back home it was a bummer

I didn't want to go back to school 

I thought being out there was way more cool

We have so many memories

I could go on telling them for centuries

One time we went horse riding in the mountains

It was only 12 so it was scary

I fell off the big horse, this was the month of February

It left a bruise the color of a strawberry

I ended up being okay

I guess you could say all this was just horseplay

 

I have a memory with my grandma 

It was when I was learning how to swim

I went and jumped in the deep end

I didn't know how to swim so I started to descend 

You could say this was a very memorable weekend  

She had to jump in and save me

I knew she would save me it was a guarantee 

I got out of the water and started crying

Her clothes were soaked it was really terrifying

After we got out the calm pool look liked a mirror 

I had never been in more fear

My little old grandma had saved me  

Her hair was so blonde it was a golden flowing river

I was so cold I started to shiver

I went back inside

I got a towel and was all dry

  1. Hello Logan, It is good to see another poem that is not about someone's mom. However a lot of people do hold their mothers in a special light so I understand that. Anyhow I really loved how you poem captured your grandmother and family trip. Especially this line "Her hair was so blonde it was a golden flowing river". I thought that this was a great line and it really put the image of a golden river in my mind winding and weaving like someone's hair. Really cool line. Also do you have trouble swimming? Sucks to drown but I know the feeling is why I ask. Once when I was young my uncle threw me into a pool and this led me to stay out of pools for a good two years. Course now I love swimming but hope that you do to.
