First Time Fishing by Whitney J. King, Class of 2010

Little girl with bubbles Takes a breath and blows through the wand. Hundreds of tiny worlds swirl around. Chances to enjoy, explore, and discover Catch the breeze And quickly escape her. Reach for the bubbles, Don’t let them go. When you want them back, There will be no more bubbles to blow.

He casts his line in the water, Pulls up his trousers and sits in his chair.

Looks up and smiles, Seeing his daughter.

“Over here Daddy,” He hears her shout. “Look at my fish, I named it Patty.”

She puts her fish in the bucket, And runs down the beach. Jumps for his arms, But he’s just out of reach.

She falls on the ground, And starts to cry. “It’s okay,” he says. There aren’t any tears That a daddy can’t dry.
