A fun, light read. Ideal for tiny tots. Yes, if your Dad is holding your hand, you must be safe! Such fun to be small and safe.

And you still remember you were afraid of sharks? As long as you don't let sharks touch you, sometimes you can get away. Did you know they bump into something and if they feel flesh, they eat?

    charming creatures, hmm? ikky - when I was growing up in Australia there was a spate of shark attacks - really nasty ones - all up and down the east coast of Australia

Hi Sharyn :) You got this just right... isn't it true that our fears are magnified when we are children and their is no rationality - I love the line about the giant shark with the bigger, huger, gianter teeth! It is totally something that my 8yr old and 5yr old would come out with... and the imagination about the thunder wanting to take the child far out to sea - there's a 'bad guy' around every corner! My son actually scares himself with the things his imagination comes up with.... always better when he's on my knee or holding my hand - mums and dads are the ultimate superhero for sure.... and it's true what you say in your notes - that feelings never change (my dad is still my hero!)
I love the CAPS you use throughout. The impact perfectly.
Also liked the reference to the child's juicy legs! Yummy with scones and jam as every shark knows!
Great, I loved it, and the cute picture of you and your dad too.
No 6 allowed for you though, site has prevented it :(
Kindest regards, Debra :)

Wonderful photo ;)

and equally wonderful poem. The I'm not part was spot on. Nobody is as fearless as a baby, right? :) great pace and imagery, the run of thoughts of the child was genial with the sharks . :)

This poem is very expressive on how ones imagination can run away with someone! Good job on seeing things through the eyes of a child and then putting it on paper in a poem form!

Hi Sharon,

Your poem is really cute. I enjoyed the read very much. The picture of you as a tiny tot with your dad holding onto you is really nice too.

A great job.

Hugs, Kat

    One day a little better, then worse again. Yesterday was fine and so far today has been too.

    Thanks for caring, Kat

    P.S. Sorry I keep spelling your name wrong.

Love your description of the waves when they hit, blue water mountain whacking your chest and then the mad tumble as if stuck in a giant washing machine. And the sharks! This rings so true. I loved to play in the waves as a child...until I saw jaws. Then every body of water was shadowed with that damn shark. Bigger, higher, gianter- good call in using child language.

Absolutely cracking poem over 80 words, detailing the mind set of a young child and how she perceives the big nasty sea LOL
Brilliant the way in which you gave sound and feeling to this excellent entry.
I wish you the best of luck
kind regards
