Saling

• Jack Stephens, Grade 8
• Poetry
• 2004

The surrounding landscape,
A big green barrier
Soft water lapping over the boat sending shivers down my spine,
Feels cold and unwelcoming
The birds calling, the sail flapping in the wind, the boom swinging into its position, The sounds of the river
The fresh south wind,
Salty and refreshing
The ‘wicked’ hot dog I had an hour before, mouth watering, I feel like another one
Happiness
