I remember as I was swimming underwater that I saw a hammerhead shark! It was a baby but I remember every single detail! I sucked in the water by accident and almost drowned because I was so scared but no one believed me. I STILL remember it so vividly. I also fell into the deep end of the pool while my family had this huge party. I totally remember seeing my cousin dive in to come and get me. I was thinking, "Wow it's blurry under here..." I remember everything I was thinking---weird huh? <br /><br />Totally related to this! :) Glad you were saved!!!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189125011913017491.post-4249899790090352512010-04-30T06:41:10.597-07:002010-04-30T06:41:10.597-07:00Great post...that's terrific you're not af...Great post...that's terrific you're not afraid of water...had the opposite effect!Catyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203872150946002183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189125011913017491.post-76095120083940704212010-04-30T04:25:18.894-07:002010-04-30T04:25:18.894-07:00Glad you survived to tell the tale...it's good...Glad you survived to tell the tale...it's good that you love the water after this experience.Farmers Wifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108216621628520756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189125011913017491.post-4189217621302850402010-04-30T04:04:11.540-07:002010-04-30T04:04:11.540-07:00Oh boy....a mother's nightmare.

Gone for a poem this week based on the Etheree form created about twenty years ago by an Arkansas poet named Etheree Taylor Armstrong It normally consists of ten lines of unmetered and unrhymed verse, the first line having one syllable, each succeeding line adding a syllable. I added an extra row for the word count and the punch line.
