The waves reflect the sky
As the lake sits steady and sweet
As the boats go over and out
Pulling children to their feet
As the docks bounce up and down
With the readiness of a storm
The water, bright and blue
Its waves are trying to warn
But children, they don’t see
As they bounce and jump and play
Going up and down and all around
Between each of the waves
Grey sky is warning too now
They still don’t have a clue
They’re playing in the water
As the waves, they grew and grew
With each warning ignored
Lightning hops aboard
And with a great and mighty shake
The lightning hits the lake
The children start to cry
As the bolt descends from the sky
They all fall to their knees
And their suffering starts to cease
With burnt and blackened locks
Not one child recovers from this shock
They still lie today
Under the lake and around
Just waiting to be found
So remember-
When the lake is kind enough to warn
Get out of the water before the storm

PoetryThis is a book of some poems I've written recently. Some are about me, some are about books, and some are about something else entirely. Either way, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
