Premium Member Rowing took my muse away
Rowing took my muse away, but gave me abs of steel. Erging less, now what’s the deal? Seems I have some to say. Brains deprived of oxygen can’t seem to find a verse and then to make these matters worse, seems sugar is my gin. I’ve a got little fat again upon the waist, between the ears. Melodic verses I do hear; instead of...

Premium Member Rowing Upstream and Downstream
Rowing downstream is one of life’s grandest pleasures while upstream’s difficulty is quite hard to measure You’ve got to dip those oars in right tight to the boat and if you're ahead...

Rowing
My spirit released set free to fly seeking in wonder what I do not know so long ago so far from I when for time they went down to the sea bending the back a smooth strong pull and gathering breath in a foreword lean beneath open sky among the waves for how many days how many weeks I strongly pull another stroke and I wonder about them what did they think upon the sea as...

Growing
G-rowing is rowing keeping the balance towards the light! Our fathers row when we are children. We observe how they do it. As we grow, we have to do the rowing. Harder than it seemed. Difficult to keeping balance. We fight against the current. Until one day, we learn to enjoy the rapids, Letting the current take us. Without much effort. Time goes by the current grows stronger. We are reaching the sea some fear...

I Remember That We Rowed, You Were Afraid
I remember that we rowed. You were afraid. And so, I gave the oars to you, I thought, you see – control Would help you feel It was your boat that moved Beneath your unsure feet. And then, I saw your leg, and I liked you! You laughed, hysterical! You always laughed When you were afraid. I… I talked about ‘meaningful relationships’, But you, as...

With God We Are Rowing
With God We Are Rowing When with God we are always rowing, Faith in Him is growing and growing; Much kelp; Need help; Maintain course when wind is blowing. Jim Horn Kelp slows down and re-directs boat. Nice knowing that we have God's help....

Rowing Fundamentalists Over Baptism
Fundamentalist Christians row over piecemeal things, Over whether baptism is required for heavenly sings, Over whether baptism is needed for heaven’s welcome, Over whether baptism is demanded by god to overcome. I don’t know how many times I was asked about baptism, Whether I wanted baptised, they didn’t accept my atheism, I’d stated it to...

Rowing Ruataniwha
Thunderous silence in fresh mountain air Dragonflies land on a mirrored flat lake. A trout breaks the surface with but a swirl Hushed morning stopping to rolling vast cheer. Eight boats of rowers united in curl Sixty-four faces combined in their ache Coxswains urging each stroke with due care. Rugged peaks fix firm gaze from up high Each ridge a crease on...

Into your boat I found myself venturing, oh life Rowing against the currents of your afflictions Many times I thought you wished me to drown Though you desired to forge my convictions! © Demetrios Trifiatis 06 October 2015 POTD...
