Best Tread Water Poems

Life is like being a passenger on a luxury ocean liner 
 That is sails across a Sea of Turmoil.
 Passengers feel safe by putting their faith in the sturdy construction of the ship’s steel hull.
 Their senses are enveloped by the beautiful gold, silver,...

Dug deep down inside
and pulled out the memory file
about being a child
with my family for
a rare outing at Jones Beach,
we were all there with
my Moms picnic basket,
just in case we got hungry,
we'd eat one of her special treats,
My Mom didn't like the water
and especially the...

I wait for the deluge
To see Arizona's Coast
Join hands, tread water....

FISHING SHADOWS © Haiku 

Two fins tread water
Fish swim the shadowed shelf ledge 
Breathing  from its gills!


Swimming Fish © Haiku 

Probing fish swim near 
 Fins redirect the swimming ‘school’
And a baited worm waits!



Safe Place © Haiku 

Deep broken ships lay
With some hiding fish
Far...

We Bend but Never Break

Stand your ground the Monarchs cry
defend our power, do not ask why
Know we rule by our divine right
murder so easily with our might!

Bow down to kiss our Godly feet
we are the best you will ever meet
Know your place and all is...

“Go BANG!”



"Is that a gun in your pocket?"
She said

"Careful, I recommend
you need to be undercover, 
and soon, call it Espionage M
You’re so disjointed
It's exasperating
but endearing"
He said

"Danger is Your Middle Name
You’ve been decoded!"
She said
"But rest easy, so far
not defrocked
We need you triggering
pistols, and playing 
Russian Roulette
and...

A wall of chill and bleak desire
are all that's left me now.
But wait, I feel you in me here
within my heart somehow.

This feeling deep inside my soul
is more than I can bear.
The loss of you just took me down
a dark and twisted stair.

As I tread...

When he was a child, He threw my belongings out the window
Gazed upon me not knowing, Where I would go
Belt welts for my belongings, He did not know where about
Dwelling in a cold city night, They looked for me in my fright
When I became a...

"Pulmonary"



Revelations burn pulmonary
when all the bees no longer roar
life drowns in blue-green

Clairvoyants dance in time 
with prophets to flux events
Light folds Dark inside out 

Lizards Popes and Politicians
tread water in their black oceans
looking for an open door

Revelations burn pulmonary
when all the bees no longer roar
life...

When he was a child, He threw my belongings out the window
Gazed upon me not knowing, Where I would go
Belt welts for my belongings, He did not know
Sorry my brother, My Highs reached your lows

When I became a teen mom, He embraced my change
Knowing I've...

"The Flow"




I walked into the Ocean today
the Wind was wild whipping up the waves
like lemonade white horses riding into shore
I tread water, the Aquamarine was a washing machine 

While someone else’s kids raced by me out to the break
the wind bit my face, I submerged...

She called me her angel
A week before she died
I didn't see beyond the mask
I only heard my own sigh

Her cry was lost
Like her ashes now

The wind of fortune and future and change
Blew her away

But my memory is the deep pool she swims in
And we are...

Excerpt from last night's dreaming:

Being plunged into the Lackadive Sea
blue green below me to sky scraper depths and beyond
With the quickness of burned off clouds, I think:
there must be sharks, somewhere, in the planet beneath me
and yet to the task at hand-
I'm an actress about...
