The Spa

Musings one day in the spa.

The Spa

Overhead lights mark columns on the water

Down which elderly women make their stately way

Slowly up and down, up and down

Sporting latex crowns in black and gold

And expressions of grim determination

The Monarchs of the pool

This is very good. As Lydia says, wonderful imagery, it painted the picture so clearly in my mind.

Thank you very much Beccy. I read this at a poetry evening in memory of my mother, who loved to swim and whose birthday it would have been that day. She made her stately way well into her nineties!

[Lydia Shutter]

I could picture older women swimming laps in the lanes of an indoor pool as I read your words. Wonderful imagery! Lydi**
