My Free Verse Poem

Pretend

I am a girl

Pretending to travel                               

To comfort

Alongside the willows

Silence

Away from everyone

Just me, only me

Hidden from humanity

People tell me to stop pretending

That I am foolish

I just ignore them

And sit alone

They ask if I’m ok

No

I have faced things that no one else has

Pretending is my escape

My Trip To Hawaii

Over the February break my family and I went to Hawaii. When we got to Maui we went on a snorkeling trip to Turtle Beach. I have been snorkeling many times but not like this.


The water was three hundred feet deep. You could see all the colors of the coral. I love to snorkel but I hate fish . The water was three hundred feet deep and of course the fish were at the top to touch me. There was all kind of different fish. There was starfish, sea urchins and the crew on the boat said if you are lucky you can see turtles.
You are even more lucky if it comes close to you . Me and my dad were snorkeling together. When we saw a turtle swimming by, if my dad was two inches taller the turtle would have touched him .
The first thing I did when I saw it I screamed and smiled that was a bad idea because I got salt water in my mouth. We also saw a trumpet fish, an eel, and this other creepy fish with a big eye sticking out of the coral . Also when we were in Hawaii was when the humpback whales were migrating from alaska.

The whole time the are in hawaii the do not eat. They live off their blubber. When you are on a boat you can not get more than one hundred feet to the whales, but if they come to the boat. But they can come as close as they want.


The captain of the boat said that it was the closest he had ever got. When we were on the snorkeling trip there was three whales that jumped in front of the boat, swam under the boat jumped at the back of the boat it was cool because the made the noise that whales make.

We also saw bottlenose dolphins that would jump out of the water and do spin. there was gill and dory off of Finding Nemo. Some of the fish were kind of scary looking. That is about the time I went snorkeling in Hawaii.
