Poem
They lived in the glen at the edge of the woods with a stream near by sounding perfect as it looks. When the littlest one went out one day, she traveled near the water where the stream met the bay. She had never been here before and thought it was such a sight with the sun shining down to make the moving liquid bright. With her eyes closed and her face to the sky, she imagined to herself she could fly really high. The day was perfect not a cloud in sight when a noise from the water gave her a fright. Her eyes scanned the scene but for a moment saw nothing. Then out on the horizon she DID see something. It was coming closer at a very fast speed. She squinted real hard trying to see. The bubbles blew up from below the sea as an eyeball emerged to take a peek. Oh what should she do? Should she scream? Should she run? But just then it rose up high blocking out the sun. With it’s one pink eye looking at her it held out its hand all covered in fur. In it it held a shovel and pail as it moved toward the sand with a swirl of it’s tail. It’s vivid purple lips when it smiled real big. Invited her to sit then it started to dig. The girl laughed and played with the creature from the sea. They were having a good time until both were hungry. It was time to say goodbye and head on home. She knew her new friend would go were it came from. They waved goodbye and hoped they’d meet again. They didn’t want the fun to stop or for it to be the end. She headed back home not sure what to say about where she had been or with whom she spent the day. That night she dreamt of her new friend from the sea, the fun they had had and how it made her happy.
