The Picnic

Water crashing against the shore

viewing the birds rocking in the water

the view of Lake Michigan is just a breath taking view.

 

I touch tree that I climbed hiding

so Gabby won’t find me

I run all the way down to where the waves crash against the shore

where Gabby found me

 

We ate pretzels, strawberry’s and more

We laughed so much all I hear was laughter

I smelled a big giant rose

I see dog lifting its leg

liquid coming out

I hear my sibling freaks out

 

I smell pee

I touch bleach

I taste nothing

I just woke up

am hungry

 

Dirty sheets need to be washed

my dad is pissed

walk the dog

still has to pee

ONE

I see him throwing the ball at me with his arm going back so he can get ready to launch the ball really far.

 

TWO

I feel the shape of the ball when I catch it.

I also feels the texture of the ball.

 

THREE

I hear his laughing because he is having fun playing football, I also hear me laughing because I am having fun.
