An Innocent Childhood Memory 2

I learnt to swim at ten
But was afraid of attempting a dive from height
Stayed in den!

I must be bold
I vowed to dive no matter plight
Why hold?

One day then
Took the three metre flight
Yen!

I learnt to swim at ten
I vowed to dive no matter plight
Yen!


Another example of MINICHU form
to encourage Soupers to attempt and participate in the contest as it is not that difficult.
