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

Heat rises
\around us down
your sidewalk shimmers
and we sit
\on the porch
swimming in heat
sitting still enough

Blobby thing you came in from sea
Fading away here on the beach
Life once had swimming around
Ending in waves just out of reach

Premium Member Stop Rocking the Boat

Please stop rocking the boat.
I would like to remain afloat.
I don't feel like swimming ashore.
Please don't rock the boat anymore.

splashing, rollicking awhile
swimming headlong up
a stream of consciousness to
generate ideas -- exits.

Wanted Renewal In Swimming Pool

When I really  wanted a renewal,
Was baptized in a swimming pool;
Did dunk;
Then sunk,
While preacher stood on a stool.

Dolphins

Leaping with the boat,

Swimming through the water.

Fun in any way.

Cheerful sea creatures.

Dolphins are all of these things.

Her blue swirl sea green orbs woo,

that wild tide rush froth-rimmed glance,
I capsize transfixed

Upon the Water's Edge

Sitting quietly,
Upon the water's edge,
Swimming in the watercolors of my mind,
Rush of waterfalls,
Cleanse sendimentary thoughts...
