Joanna Daniel Poet Roundel

I Touch The Sun

I touch the sun and have some fun, 
Leaping and bouncing and splashing, 
Looking up when the day is done, 
                                      I touch the sun. 

To the deep, down I come crashing, 
The jumping orca, I'm the one, 
Who is showing off and flashing. 

'bove and below the waves I run, 
My ocean friends call me dashing, 
With my frolicking, all I stun, 
                                     I touch the sun.
