Sydney by Maddie M.

Little girl, about six
Preparing to go down the water slide.
With every twist and turn of the slide,
She laughs until her belly aches.
Across her body is a florescent bikini
And goggles cover her beautiful hazel eyes.
She’s putting on a show for the people watching her on the deck
But she loves the attention.
All you can see on her face is a big smile.
Just before she hits the water,
She sees a camera flash,
And she sticks her tongue out.
Splash!

Maddie i really loved your poem. i thought it showed how much you cared about your sister. i think the words were about your sister and you were describing her as in an everday setting. the poem flowed very nicely and i thought you used great word choice. you knew a lot about the subject and i thought that was great. overall i thought it was a very nice poem.
