You Know I Don’t Like Swimming

I’m in a pool,

Swimming

With my family.

They don’t notice me.

I swim in circles,

It takes forever,

But finally,

My energy is too low.

I press on.

I pant and go under

Again and again

Until I don’t come back up.

I don't think I was ready for this!! lol I have just read a poem of yours of this cute and beautiful Winter Wedding where I have actually written a line from it on my arm, and reading THIS poem got me in a giggle. Whoops!! lol Drowning is NOT funny, but how easily you change and affect my moods with your writing IS. : ) I Love it.... how do I NOT? Reading this poem, I couldn't help make the "Jaws theme song" sound, and then say, "Uh Oh!" : ) I Love spending time with you because this and you and your poems and whatever you throw at me is fun, too. xoxox -Your Mark
