Angela Crabtree Poet Couplet

Submerge

I had a glass of tea
Then stood beside the sea

I touched the waters edge
And jumped the beaches ledge

I swam almost a mile
Then gave away a smile

I feel I'll dive again
Because I'm sure to win

With luck when I am home
I will not need a comb

Paul Callus December 11, 2020 at 1:29 PM What a cute rhyming poem, Angela. I definitely won't need a comb after swimming, but you have long hair and might need one:) Regards // paul Angela Crabtree December 11, 2020 at 6:43 PM Thank you, Paul. Yes, I definitely need one afterwards :)

Gershon Wolf October 12, 2020 at 5:37 PM Seems like tea is the key!... As for 'comb,' it seals the poem! Enjoyed! Thanks, gw Angela Crabtree October 13, 2020 at 3:05 PM Thank you, Gershon for reading. I just wanted to have some fun with this poem and it was the only thing I could come up with to end it ;)

Eve Roper October 12, 2020 at 3:59 PM love the verse reminded me of a children song, I am always sing to my grandson. Angela Crabtree October 13, 2020 at 3:01 PM Thank you, Eve. I'm sure he loves it too ;)

Victor Buhagiar October 12, 2020 at 6:52 AM Since my wife's death I never went swimming again. It's stupid of me really. I love the sea. A lovely poem. A swimming cap should help though. ~~ Angela Crabtree October 12, 2020 at 10:46 AM Sorry to hear about your loss, Victor. ...I may try a swimming cap next time :)

Hannington Mumo October 11, 2020 at 1:53 PM A sweetly flowing masterstroke...remains thematically sound still, despite the exactingly ambitious rhyme scheme. Superb job! Angela Crabtree October 11, 2020 at 3:02 PM Thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate it. :)
