The Cliff
March 29, 2017
My mom and I were walking
we came across an inviting cliff
it seemed to call for me
I wanted to climb it
I thought it would be breathtaking at the top
she told me she already climbed it
it was my turn now
I placed my foot on the rock
and slipped
while climbing
the sun hit me hard
“Ouch!”
I gripped onto slippery rocks
and almost fell
a little more climbing...
I made it!
I did it!
not as amusing as I thought
wish I wouldn’t have climbed so fast
I glanced down and
my mom,
she was gone

The poem Jabberwocky inspired me to write The Cliff. It is about growing up and how you think it will be fun when your are in adult but when you are one, you wish you wouldn't have grown up so fast.
