Trying to meet the challenge of writing a poem/haiku every day for National Poetry Month, I found this draft poem I wrote (never posted) to an earlier dVerse prompt; a true story in quadrille form of 44 words.
rising bubbles,
hint of troubles
hot sun, stay cool
float in deep pool
girl cannot swim
slips thru ring’s rim
bubbles, bubbles
danger doubles
sinking under
filled with wonder
relaxed, no panic
water clear blue
go down for two
beautiful bubbles
belie her troubles
Thanks, Dad, for “fishing” me out in time…and paying for swimming lessons soon after!
