round perhaps

when she was young
she saw
the sun and moon
as circles
then she saw the ocean

walked in up to her neck
and figured
because there is depth
to consider
perhaps the ocean was round

I like this poem. When I was a little girl, the sky was round, like the inside of a big blue bowl.

that's it. i'm happy to hear that it made you remember.

i made the poem because from my adult mind it seemed logical, or maybe i thought that way when i was young.

i made it from a girls point of view because she seemed more sympathetic, cuter perhaps than a boy.
