Sense Sonnet - Acher

There for Me

I went to look at the small creek
That flowed at the edge of the street.
The heavy rains sure made a leak.
The water must have been 10 feet,
Deep and flowing furious and fast.
My house was pretty close nearby.
I hoped that the worst wet had passed.
Looking up at the darkened sky,
I must have slipped while standing there.
Because the next thing that I know,
Under water, gasping for air.
Lucky - I got out of the flow.

Later, 2 dead bodies were found.
My Dad and Granddad, they both drowned.
