About to Melt
December 7, 2008
The earth was melting over,
along with my eyes.
I just barely saw the sign
that made me sure that I would be alright.
The pool was near, I wiped the sweat
off of my five-year-old forehead,
and raced to the public fountain of youth.

I really love the simplicity of this poem. The shortness of it makes me think that it is by a child, but it is still very sophisicated.

Dara, that was really good! I liked how it made you think that it was going to be something bad, and then it ended pleasantly. =D
