turning to the pool resource
i finally ask for help
on a basic thing
learning to crawl
without drowning
or running out of steam
inhale on each stroke
then blow bubbles
clear it all out
then kick alone
thrashing, but no motion
"oh for a camera" my daughter said
easier on the back
though still some coughing
"keep the knees underwater"
breathe, kick, glide
arms sweeping wide
this one goes the best
tired but unashamed
at last taking the plunge
to make like a fish

To make like a fish,
in or out of the dish;
is like being a bird by
eating a worm.
The legs may kick
and the arms may paddle.
But swimming and flying
is better left for the animal.
hey tim! good advice, especially since i think i did something to my knee with all the kicking. on the plus side, i'm glad i don't have to worry about whether my dinner has a hook in it.
