As a response to this week’s “Throwback Thursday” about learning to swim, I wrote a sevenling. NaPoWriMo day 15.
The little girl loved the water,
But only where she could touch the bottom —
Splashing and “head-bobbing” were summer fun.
It took her years to learn to actually
Swim, the only classes she failed more than
Once, and the ocean is more or less off-limits.
The waves are much more enthusiastic than she is.
