It's a Lido Out There (aka So I See you Swimming off with Someone New, I'm like... Haiku)

I've been swimming outside first thing in the morning three times on a Saturday now, and pretty bloody pleased with myself I am truly feeling. Here are three Japanese style poems written about my experiences: two haikus and a tanka. I'll get off the poetry and write some proper blog entries again soon, I promise. Try not to wither away from the disappointment. ;-)

Screwed up insides crunch.

Streams of gold kiss water tips;

My soul smoothing out.

An army of arms

crawl in copycat clockwork.

Breath flows in and out.

Blue above is ironed smooth;

fluid mountain range below.

Swim pool politics.

A punchy whale spouts off.

I clench my eyes shut.
