Spring Break Poem by Jackie Thielman

The splash of a log
In the trickling creek
As I step on the log
My feet crumble
The leaves fallen from the tree
I look up to see
A hand reaching out to me

As I step off the cracking log
I let out an “Ouch”
For I did not know why
I look down to see
Sharp red thorns sticking me

Now the trickle of blood
Ran down my leg
Now the water stained with red
As tears drip off my face
I run to my friend
With screeching tears
Only to find
My shoe was lost

I dropped to the ground
With a big thump
As my friend runs across
The rushing water
To get my shoe

We walk home
With a limp in my step
And a “Ouch” every step
Up the hill in extreme pain
