Crocodiles do not swim here,
at least the ones who read.
But as for the illiterate,
they mostly come to feed.
His future went to swim
by shores of Lake Wisdom
Now he is in shark’s stomach
shouting for rescue squad
not aware they are in recess
Each tear I drop
will build
the vast ocean
we'll have in between
there won't be a way
to swim
and the other side
reach.
Jessica
will not be long
here or rome
when its hot
down the block
is a swimming pool
its so cool
stop and stare
it thoese
SUMMER SWIM WARE
. shoes on river bank
best friends visit Sugar Creek
Sunday afternoon
There is a mouse in the soup tureen
The cutest thing I've ever seen
Swimming about, relaxed, serene
I'll empty it out. Would that be mean?
Craving Skinny dip
breezed to the stream on full moon
stripping emerged out
stream dry as rock, my wish died
check water before you strip.
it sexes as the lay
day by day
in the sand
holding hands
i stop and look
it got me hook
see it also so near
the SUMMER
BEACH SWIN WEAR
lunar's glassy pond
shimmering moon moves slowly
fishes swim in sky
Creeeek! He croaks at night.
The Fat Frog hops in green pond.
He swims in silence.
Winner Ninth Place: Brian Strand-My 1450 Poetrysoup (3/14/26)
day tucks into lake
beneath a blanket of stars~
sun lends light to moon
water gleams with night~
still sky shatters as frogs
splash into the moon
For replacement election maps
Texas jumps when Don’s finger snaps
If he keeps control
Trump’s gold toilet bowl
Is where we'll all swim when he craps
there once was a sly swimmer bloke
whose manners were sure to provoke
his form was unique
a brand new technique
he mastered the women’s breaststroke
Sweet tongues whisper venom words
Cold hearts bleed and sweaty palms,
dry at the feeling of blind love.
Twisted minds fold from the heat of cold stove.
time is a river flowing
it lets nothing stand in its way
~ obstinately speeds in one direction

I once met a young coatimundi,
Vacationing by the Bay of Fundy.
In hopes of staying trim,
He went for a brief swim,
But sixty-foot tides swept him to Dundee.
“If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it! “—Jonathan Winters (June 1990)
If my ship doesn’t come in~ I can’t swim that far
coolness and sunshine
giggles and splashing
vacuum and sore muscles
last years leaves
Resting on the pool floor
Clean till it shines
Don't leave one leaf behind....
Sometimes, compassion seems alien; a rare visitor.
Within the waters of the human heart; compassion can be found.
A daily swim ensures that, compassion never disappears.
I was teaching my cat to swim,
His pussy face looked so grim,
Dad said, "Make the lessons shorter,
you see cats just don't like water,
even so, I rate your chances slim."
dry, dare to enter
liquid pool of earth and sky
swim eternally.

schools swim as many
comfort found among masses
will one ever leave

Swimming in the pool was Lou- Lou,
In distress yelled, ”MA! Gotta poo !”
Momma was too late.
So the cowboy, Nate,
stuck in head n'said, “Howdy-DOO!”
I ramble and shove words together
And sometimes I pick apart my unpleasant thoughts
Look,
I can try to remember
I can try to forget
It’s sink or swim and I can’t tell which is which
Bird aspires to swim
Rainbow koi dance in blue sky
Roots grow out of mind.
