Panic! Fear. Save me!
Muscles spasming, lungs like peas.
My first winter swim.

I have been thinking about testing and stretching my poetic muscles for a while now and as if Universe somehow new about these plans of mine, there comes Writing 201: Poetry! So for next couple of weeks or so (as I can’t promise I’ll keep the prescribed schedule), I will be posting my attempts of poems according to the given assignments.
Poetry, Photography, haiku, Life, word play, puns, free verse
Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
A bit of this, a bit of that, the meandering thoughts of a dreamer.
It’s just D.I.Y. What could go wrong 😈

Thank you Trent. Indeed this is drawn from personal experience – the things I do for a good cause… 100m charity swim, mid-December.

Thank you Laura. It was quite a shocking experience to enter the cold water – I knew the water will be cold but I didn’t expected such violent reaction from my body!
