Swim Swam Swum

The Bug, 2004


Well, we finally had a scorcher here in Xenia, Ohio so I am thinking about a cool refreshing dip (of ice cream, really, but it could be swimming). I want to hear your thoughts about the subject of swimming – in a pool, in debt, in a sea of emotion… Whatever suits your fancy. Then come back here & link up. If you think about it, link to the actual post with the poem, not just your whole blog. It’s less confusing that way. Thanks!



P.S. I'm hoping Mr. Linky magically appears at some point? If not, please shoot me an email with instructions. Thanks!
ta-DAAaaa
Thanks!

  7. I came up with random associations for this one.
    It's weird what the mind can throw up into the light when presented with the opportunity....



    Thank you kindly for the prompt :)

  8. I can't comment on this blog at work - what a pain! Anyway, I'm up with my own effort, which I'm not too sure about...

  11. Seems funny riding a jar of poetical jam around the world but I'm aboard.

  12. Ooops. I linked to a poem I wrote about a childhood experience. However, even though I'm decades older than the woman pictured in the prompt, I can fake being in my 30's or 40's...

    Brian---I loved your comment on Fireblossom's post (about felt-board bible stories). Hilarious.

  14. My first effort on Poetry Jam (found this site thanks to a link from Brian). Kind of a swimming theme (well, it does include water anyway). Hope it will suffice today. Thanks for the opportunity! ~Karis
