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

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/12/2020 5:37:00 PM Seems like tea is the key!... As for 'comb,' it seals the poem! Enjoyed! Thanks, gw Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/13/2020 3:05:00 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 ;)

Victor Buhagiar Date: 10/12/2020 6:52:00 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. ~~ Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/12/2020 10:46:00 AM Sorry to hear about your loss, Victor. ...I may try a swimming cap next time :)

Hannington Mumo Date: 10/11/2020 1:53:00 PM A sweetly flowing masterstroke...remains thematically sound still, despite the exactingly ambitious rhyme scheme. Superb job! Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/11/2020 3:02:00 PM Thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate it. :)
