I Love This Place

   This is a poem I wrote on a car ride home coming back from my Lake House. I hope this poem expresses my feelings towards the Lake, and shows the elements that make the Lake special to anyone who has ever been there (even those who have only visited once).

Water ripples
under my
kayak
I love this 
place


Air rushes by 
my ears as
I jump
I love this
place


My cousin yells 
and we run
for the trees
I love this
place


A motorboat 
rushes by and we 
dive into the swells
I love this 
place


We rock back
and forth in the 
waves
I love this
place


We all can 
swim like otters
(almost)
I love this
place


I'm outnumbered
eight boys
to one girl
I love this
place
