Making a Splash
Jim was a silly fool.
Who fell into his swimming pool.
He wasn't a swimmer
He could not be dimmer.
It was very very uncool...

Who accidently ate Viagra for dinner
His Speedo grew tight
He was awarded that night
A gold medal as the pole-vault winner...

screamed a fish was in the way
lifeguards who had heard the shout
quickly tried to pull her out

Not a Swimmer
There was a girly landlubber in pink
Who to a burly fisherman was linked --
Not a swimmer, she sank
In his great big fishtank --
Now in winter she's a frozen ice rink...

Float
I dive in the deep end
down deep too long
my skin starts to tingle
water burns my lungs
not a strong swimmer
as I come up and choke
I can't swim back
but I can float
so I float...

The Swimmer
little I discerned of pious words-
and idle twitter
scarcely had I known what I would find
among the dregs
it's a bitter pill to swallow
when a victory is hollow...
it's all downhill from here me thought
as I touched upon the egg!...

New Swimmer
The boy goes to the pool, full to the brim,
only moistens head, though wishes to swim.
But being too fearful
can't get into the pool.
What to do ? New swimmer ! Encourage him.

One Day Summer
Great Southern,
land, down under, wintry,
Spring rain, precipitation, gloom....
Drear our days,
Until sunshine appears!
Joyous, seeking shorts, swimmer liles,
Down the beach,
Aquatic centers thrive,
Pallid limbs suntanning, right now!...

Written
We must shudder
as we go back in time,
all the way back
years before we can remember
to the decisive second when
one little upstream swimmer
strong enough to enter
and forever change
the constitution of an egg—
Bam!
It is written
the moment
we began....

What the Poet Sees
What the Poet Sees
by Michael R. Burch
What the poet sees,
he sees as a swimmer
~~~underwater~~~
watching the shoreline blur
sees through his breath's weightless bubbles:
both worlds grow obscure.

Cara used to be a swimmer, but she had given it up
Her studies were taking every ounce of herself.

Crocodile
Eyes panning down the lake
like sharpest Canon lens;
She captures all preys in sight~
Not a fastest swimmer,
not a fastest runner
Can flee from her big jaws
when hunger strikes tummy.

Depth Perception
From corners of silver lakes, you shimmer
In glancing ripples, fluid treasure awaits
And I, diving for pearls, a swimmer
Tangled within your illusion of depth
Until the fragile surface separates
Ghosts of tarnished gold grows dimmer
As mirages of you fall to shallow fates.

Lone Snow Swan
Lone Snow Swan
Lone Snow Swan
swims ice-water,
graceful
along river
tinged by frost-banks.
Geese gather
in a gaggle
on the sidelines
as the single swimmer
holds
the cold centre,
tension mounting
between snowscape
and water
as the two
reconcile
into a
winter-water
peace-freeze....
