Going Down Under

Going Down Under! Toes step, from dry to wet sand Foot sinks, bathes in waves Whoosh, waves splash ankles to toes Cold, cool water, how far should I go? Waves pulls back, pulls sand into sea Feet step, from wet to wetter sand Feet sink, deeper in still Cold, cool water, how far should I go? Whoosh, waves splash ankles to knees Waves deciding, I’m getting wetter Whoosh, waves splash, knees to belly Knees jelly, with my jelly belly Whoosh, waves crash, belly to chest Waves deciding, I’m falling backwards Whoosh, waves smash, above me, Falling, crawling, Going Down Under! Noels_Art Comments: Sometimes the water’s cold. FEEDBACK WELCOME.

I like the quick snappiness of this one, it made it easy to read, and fun. I felt like I was the one going under.

Thanks Caren, I had difficulty with last stanza, write, rewrite,write, rewrite... Sometimes you just have to end it.
