Magenta Dolphin


I am the magenta dolphin
peacefully
leaping
into the cold ocean.

The sun's
beaming
rays shine on me
and make my skin
start gleaming.

The slimy seaweed
rustles aginst rock
like a tree
rustling
against a bedroom window.

The chilly wind
blows on my face
and
makes
me squint.

I jump into the water and
wonder
what
will
happen next.
