Notes About The Poem

Only I Swim

==========================

She is a dark river only I swim...

Where others find desert they can never cross,
I drink her cool water as I jump in

While they suffer sand,
I sleep upon moss...

Thanks, Andrea. I know you like the challenge of a structured poem, too and this one was hard! I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with, so post yours, okay? xoxo LyLy
