Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Stretcher

A raging river 'twixt and 'tween

Me and my love on other side.

Fate of nature did intervene,

So something daring need be tried.

I firmly rooted myself to

The river bank in a firm hold.

Stretch over I began to do,

Feeling the river's spray of cold.

Now I was on a mission of

Stretching over the river so

In the future I'd join my love.

Of course my stretching was quite slow.

I know a long time it will be

To stretch the river by this tree.
