The ten waterfalls

Were nice and shining.

They led to an ocean

That was a mile deep.

* * *

The small waterfall

Is like a dagger

And the big waterfall

Is like a sword.

And the great big waterfall

Is like a shield.

* * *

I didn’t see the moon set

I just saw the sun rise.

Why do you like to write poetry?

“Because I want to be a poet someday.”
