Poetry
jump
by Juliet Del Fabbro, age 11
Juliet Del Fabbro
my toes grip the edge
as i peer down down
into the blue hole of gloom
my heart becomes a motorcycle
running on the adrenaline
of summer adventure
wind scrapes my cheek
as my knees shake weakly
the dark swirls call me
chanting jump
pulling me with a rope
i drop
