Into the cool crisp water the swimmers plunge, from high above the divers arch like liquid silver; aquatic Olympics is my favorite sport of all others, Oh, how I admire the swimmers and the high drivers. The women with their perfect bodies so lovely, gliding through the crystal blue with a sweet goal; dedication and determination has brought them here, and when they reach the wall they rise up as water cascades. Oh, the men, strong and powerful with muscles, flying in that emerald blue mighty with endurance; they seem unstoppable until they emerge dripping wet, like a wild waterfall the drops falls off their beautiful bodies. Yes, it is the swimming and diving for this girl, I, so admire their perseverance, patience, excitement; years of training and a positive attitude has made them, winners even if they do not get Gold, Silver, or even Bronze. ______________________ August 9, 2016 Poetry/Verse/Aquatic Mania Copyright Protected, ID 16-815-274-0 All Rights Reserved.
