My Abandoned Flip Flops
Amelie Baker
A kick and a flick,
my flip flops are off.
One step forward,
my foot is greeted.
Two steps forward,
my feet in sprinkles.
Sand so warm,
I rush to the sea.
Ouch! A pain so painful.
Peeking out the sand I see,
A pointy shell full of secrets.
Bending down,
I try to reach it,
suddenly it scurries away.
I follow the shell,
until the sun sleeps.
AHA! I hold on tight,
and from the shell,
are bright red legs.
One step forward,
My foot is greeted.
Two steps forward,
my feet in water.
Sand so cosy,
I drop him in.
Take him home,
said dad,
so that’s what I did.
