Every Five

In these poems, I use my breathing pattern when I’m swimming to shape the lines. Every five strokes, I breathe. 1 2 3 4 5 breathe left. 1 2 3 4 5 breathe right. Every 5 syllables, I break the line.

  • At the Lake the Fish in Me Escapes
  • Submerged
  • Memory Loss
  • I Believe in Buoys
  • Haunting
  • There is a limit
  • The Waves
  • Afterglow
