Drowned For Love

I’ve drowned for love,
and risen, a Surfer!
Life is like that, ebb
and flow – crests and
Wipe-outs! Such deep relationships
only having buoyancy two hearts
are willing to support.  There
are no pamphlets, no programs
for guarantee.  Love being
deliciously happy or madly
Bizzerk says one has been both
Beneficiary and Floundering Jerk -- 

What the heck...it all transcribes
to poetry!

Valsa George April 23, 2026 at 4:47 AM Love in life is like surfing. Sometimes the ride is so smooth, sometimes very turbulent. Love and life are so full of ups and downs. Stay afloat.... wait for the right swell and paddle forward, cutting through the current. Joseph P. DiMino April 23, 2026 at 5:44 AM Hi Valsa; absolutely! Nothing worth keeping comes easy -- my experience anyway. Blessings.

Paula Goldsmith April 22, 2026 at 12:57 PM I enjoyed reading your "Drown For Love" write. Great picture you have painted with your words. "Good Luck." If for a contest. Have a fun day writing away.............. Joseph P. DiMino April 22, 2026 at 1:11 PM Thank you, Paula; a serious subject but I thought to add a softer more positive light -- nice to see encouraging comments. Have a great writing day my friend. Blessings.

Andrea Dietrich April 22, 2026 at 11:57 AM Love the surfing metaphor. So clever, Joe. Line one, add -ed to drown. I always enjoy seeing how you interpret themes and I enjoyed your succinct creative take on the contest. Joseph P. DiMino April 22, 2026 at 1:07 PM Yes, thank you; made the change. Fun to explore the themes of contests. This one particularly caught my interest because many of the poets I follow wrote on the topic. So, thought I would add my two cents.
