INTRODUCTION

Hi my name is Chloe! The poem that I wrote, called WISH I COULD, is based off of my favorite vacation spot, Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a Caribbean Island. The Cayman Islands mean a lot to me and my family. I have been going to Cayman Islands for about eight years. I can picture it right now: me stepping off the plane seeing the beautiful sky with the sun shining, the palm trees, the wind, everything so beautiful. I named my poem WISH I COULD because right now I WISH I COULD go back. Thanks!

WISH I COULD


WISH I COULD GO BACK. 
WISH I COULD SWIM IN THOSE CLEAR WATERS AGAIN.
WHY AND HOW WERE THEY SO CLEAR LIKE A CRYSTAL? 
WISH I COULD LOOK AT ONE OF THOSE STUNNING SUNSETS AGAIN.
WATCH IT UNTIL IT WAS GONE, AND IT WAS DARK. 
WISH I COULD GO SWIMMING WITH STINGRAYS AGAIN. 
WHY WERE THEY SO SLIMY BUT SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL? 
WITH THEIR LONG TAIL. 
WITH SO MANY MEMORIES THERE.LIKE GOING TO THE STORE TO GET ICE CREAM.  
WE WOULD GO LATE AT NIGHT AFTER DINNER, BECAUSE WE ALREADY ATE A PINT. 
WHY WAS IT SO CALM THERE? 
WAS LIKE I COULDN’T HEAR MYSELF.
WHY WAS IT LIKE I WAS IN A FAKE WORLD? 
WITH EVERYONE SO KIND. 
WITH THE SUN I FELT LIKE I WAS AT HOME.
WAS LIKE MY SECOND HOME. 
WISH I COULD GO BACK. 

REFLECTION

One piece of advice I would give to other poets is come up with an idea and then write. Make sure it’s an idea that you know many things about and care about. 

THANK YOU!
