Lucas Holbrook Poet Rhyme

I Went For a Swim

I went forth into the water,
Cool and crystal clear,
Making ripples as I went, 
The screams I didn't hear.

As I left the shallows,
To venture the darker shades of blue,
I began to imagine shadows,
Things that left old places; to follow something new.

As I continued my adventure, 
Splashing gaily about,
I began to notice a change in temperature,
And took notice of the fins along my route.

Now panic takes hold,
I sputter to maintain breath,
Feeling less and less bold,
Feeling the creeping tendrils of death.

A razor like tooth,
Sliced through my flesh with ease,
I now realize my truth,
My life will end on these seas.

I awake with the nightmare fresh to my taste,
The horrors of my own mind,
From my heart these demons chased,
And sealed a peaceful dream to a dreadful bind.
