{poem one: don't drown}

The depth,

The deep sea.

It's funny,

When I first looked,

The water was a clear,

Beautiful,

Amazing blue.

Then when I jumped,

The cool water,

Became darker,

And darker,

And darker,

Until,

Finally,

The water became black.

And it got thicker,

And thicker,

And thicker,

Until,

The consistency became that of liquid rubber,

Heavy,

And difficult to escape.

It's also funny,

That if you think about it,

This is a life lesson.

Things may seem shallow and harmless at first,

Then,

As you get deeper,

It gets to be too deep,

Too difficult to escape,

That it is deathly.

So always remember,

That if the road seems clear and happy at first,

There can be a pool of fatal tar waiting at the end of it.
