Poem by Alexandra when she was just about 8

Swimming

I like swimming.

Swimming is fun.

We swim round in circles.

We go round and round and round.

When I go round and round,

I look like a fish

under the water,

soft and smooth

my arms move,

my legs push,

my hair waves

under the water.

When my mom calls me

we go home. 

It was fun!  I want

to go back again.
