Slip into the pool
First strokes move
Woman to water,
My rhythm settles
I reach out hands to touch
This tangible metamorphosis.
‘Cuisses de grenouille’
amphibious in this element
thoughts float through my mind,
I release them in the wake
In water, impermanence
is reality
another beautiful poem. i like the 'woman to water' bit- it makes me think of a swan landing and the reference to menopause makes it all real somehow. i want to connect. dead good x

i ve stolen your word amphibuous for my poem apocolypse heart. its also got a lot of water in it but is not calm at all. this is peaceful and serene. 'first strokes move woman to water'...moves me to poem. i like your writing carole x
I like this poem Carole - It has a very calming affect...
I especially like these lines:
'thoughts float through my mind,
I release them in the wake
In water, impermanence
is reality'
Back on form. Well written. Well done.

thought provoking and deep, two great qualities for a poem to have and both are present here.
