Sunburn

I've never really enjoyed reading poetry, especially the classics. In my multicultural literature class, we had a test over poetry, and we were given an opportunity to make up a poem on the spot for EC. I decided to write about sunburn, because I just returned from the beach! Now just remember that I'm definitely not a poet, but I thought that this was cute and fun! I'm proud of it.

Sunburn

The breeze and warm weather

Entice me to come and soak

While walking along the path past the heather

I feel the sun beginning to choke.

Pulling out the 45 spf and slathering it on

The wind and water calm the heat.

Laying the towel up the sand, not a lawn

I enjoy the sun's smile upon my cheek.

It's getting coller now, the sun has taken a turn

I gather my things, go inside to find that I am burned!
