Premium Member Paraphrasing Martin Luther King

We have flown the air like birds
and have swum the seas like fishes,
but have yet to learn the simple act of
walking this earth as brothers and sisters.

Premium Member Foreign to me

Your Love
Its foreign to me
I find myself
In Beijing
I swum
Through life
To wash up
Upon your body
I lay my head
Gently
On your tummy
The sun 
Beating down
Upon this
Foreign shore
I ‘am tired
For I swum
Against the tied


Swum

swimming in a sea of unfelt 
reality, i happen to chance upon
your ship and down it goes, lost
on my tides, left without direction
in this unforgiving time of not-
yet-free, not-yet-sane, but fully
aware and alive are we as we
sink once more

Eva Sweenie

Eva Sweenie swum in a raw
                                  And made a she-fish her foe
                                     Oh, each cursed each
                                          A pig or a *****
                                 They got a roe deal for sure

Lewis White

Lewis was only born in April 2000, 
So when he swum to bronze at Rio, 
He’d just sat his GCSEs, he’d done well: 
He had 400m freestyle momento. 

He was born with no right hand,
He made his Paralympic debut at Rio, 
Because in the S9 100m freestyle, 
2016 Euros, he won a silver centavo.

Premium Member Skin Dive

I have swum
The limitless abyss
Of your eddying indigo eyes
And yet ...
There are other
Deep, dark boundaries to delve
Of the landscape, You
Just as enigmatic
And just ...
As warm.

Premium Member Daybreak

so many moons have danced a-sea

          and swum in eyes, entrancing me

               but such dear blessings pale to one -

     the chance to rise with each new sun.

Did You

DID YOU?
Did you ever care? Did you ever love Me as I loved you, With a true desire To make me happy? I would have walked A thousand miles, Swum the oceans, To be with you To hold you, Caress you, To love you But no, You left 20th June 2022 Diminished Hexaverse contest your choice of subject Sponsor - Caren Ktutsinger Me

Premium Member Accompanied

Thank you Lord for walking with me
Through the shadowed vales and valleys,
Holding when I blindly stumble
Until flagging spirit rallies.
When you take the larger burden
Relieving me of its great heft;
You ask only that I carry 
The modest portion that is left

Now that I’ve survived the danger
And have now safely swum to shore,
I know big waves would have swamped me
Had you not lifted me once more.

Premium Member The Bear Necessities

Two hungry bears are poised to fight Razor sharp claws, like daggers drawn One stole a fish, theft is not right Two hungry bears They’d stalked brown trout since early dawn They’re ravenous, and that’s their plight Last trout had swum upstream to spawn A tasty trout bears love to bite But now all the fresh fish have gone No wonder both are so uptight Two hungry bears 2

Premium Member Florida Man 13

A Florida man on a dive was swept out to sea, still alive. To his friends' great relief, he had swum to a reef; the joy they felt, hard to describe! ---------- A happy tale, when a man was dragged by currents and missing for over two hours, family and friends took a boat to a favorite place of his and found him in the channel near the reef. All ended well for a Florida man for a change!

Gold Fish

Gold fish


On my vision and swum one
Sprawls the heart of those humans
Ah! They say funnily
Not knowing my stay 
Why? In such a way.

What matters only viewing outside colour?
Innerly they knew me I’m fish ever
They want to keep me in aquarium
Construing a four wall of transparent

Limiting me within four feet boundary.
Treasured only to provide them pleasure
I’m with my fate not happy always
Waiting time to get old in the slap of time.
