cutting her off from the mainland.
cutting her off from the mainland.
Now she was trapped,
The midday sun,
which had warmed her gently in the morning,
burned down fiercely
adding discomfort to fear.

I hope you learn to swim. The world is better with you in it!! Cheers...

I think I doggy paddled
my way through; just enough
to keep afloat; neither
swimming nor sinking, but
drowning was never an option;
it's not for you either
