Wolf to the Sea
I will start at the Sand Hill River
and will pass through many towns
and follow the beautiful stream ahead of me
birds will fly over me and fish will swim beneath me.
I will hit rocks as I stare at the sun for a short time before it is dark.
Leaves will crunch while animals run beside me.
Sooner or later it will be hot outside.
I will see many bears cleaning their cubs.
IՉve gone so many miles and witnessed beautiful things,
smelled perfect things like the perfect smell of flowers in the spring.
Buds on trees, rabbits playing in the green grass.
There is about to be a huge storm and the riverՉs acting up.
I keep tipping with the waves crashing into me.
This is a big surprise: a tree fell in front of me!!!
A huge wave hit me and it was like getting a bucket of water dumped over me and I went under the tree while it was rubbing against the top of me.
I ended up falling asleep while there was a storm.
Eventually I woke up and something unexpected happened.
It was bemusing. I was in a bigger river.
I didnՉt notice it at first, but then I got the idea I was in the Red River.
I couldnՉt believe it!
Day after day and IՉm finally here!!!
There is a huge bridge ahead of me and two big towns.
It is Grand Forks and East Grand Forks,
I looked down and saw huge rocks!!!
Now IՉm about to run into them.
Finally I got through them and the river was throwing me around like a football.
It is night now and I have no idea where I am,
It's now morning.
It feels like IՉm sinking,
my side hurts and I notice a piece of wood broke off.
I see a lake ahead.
IՉm now in the lake and IՉm now sinking.
IՉve had an out and out journey and
now it ends, until someone picked me up and said, ՉWhat would a mini canoe be doing in Lake Winnipeg?Չ
He took me to his house and he made me bigger,
put me in another river.
It was a miracle. I was saved and my journey still continues.
I was the luckiest canoe there was and his kid ran beside me and said bye.
I was so exhausted.
I fell asleep and eventually I woke up.
I was stuck in a gill net with a bunch of salmon while there was a storm
and there was barely any water
until I noticed there were trees blocking the water.
The water went over the trees and it was coming my way with the trees.
It hit me and I was washed away.
I woke up and I was in the ocean.
I am paddle to the sea.
