On a summer morning
leaving the prim world behind
sitting on a swing
held by tight twine
Down below
a visual of the sea
between the mountains
as exciting as can be
Salty smells
mist with a bitter taste
hoping not to jinx myself
the swing is braced
High in the air
the time has come
jumping with a fancy dive
splash sounding like a drum
Coming up for air
feeling a burst of exhileration
enjoying the moment
looking around with fascination
The water is cool
a mountain breeze fills the air
a rainbow on the water
all I can do is stare
Climbing up the path
ready to do it all again
sitting on the swing
a dive begins
Sun setting
making a colorful path
following the beams home
to relax in a bubble bath

A scary picture but s poem well-tailored to it. I always adore your endings: that sense of ending the day or the moment satisfied.
Thank you. It was a fun picture for the word prompts. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
As someone who never learned to swim, I can only imagine how amazing it feels to dive from a height into the cool water. You sure captured the imagery and exhilaration of it here.
Thank you. Swimming is one of life’s pleasures. Have a wonderful day!
apparently so. I have the bouyancy of a brick. I tried a lot of times my body just doesn’t float and so I can’t swim.
It can be fun and relaxing to sit and admire the water. Sometimes it’s better this way. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Have a wonderful day!😀
Oh yes, I love being by the water.
I love bubble baths! Relaxing is awesome! Brilliant poem Debbie! ❤
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
