magic underwater world
in a rock pool
a swimmer's peep into heaven
she went missing
on a channel swim
he went searching for her
there was a query
about his intentions
esther williams
is synonymous
with water ballet b grade movies
high pitched voices and ziegfeld follies
a sort of water logged doris day
I remember Esther she made the water ballet look so ethereal.
ReplyDelete...swimming - different strokes for different folks
musical swimming wow
ReplyDeleteAll three are neat! Where do you find the pictures, and do they come before the words or vice versa? Perfect. I think Doris Day did one swimming movie with Rock Hudson. I had to giggle at the image of her waterlogged! The search for the lost lady--escaped? Drowned? Ha! But my favorite is the first--so true. I hope you had this experience.
ReplyDeletei pictured scuba the diving on the first haiku. i always wanted to try it but i'm scared. lol.
ReplyDeletethe second powm has some political undertone. i must just be reading news.

Susan introduced Esther Williams in the prompt.
Delete...'rock pool' I remember swimming there time ago...nice associations ...ballet in water I love too. x
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you remember Esther Williams. As I was learning to swim she was cocking a snoot at me!
ReplyDeleteI had to look this up as well. I have never actually seen anyone doing this...even in old black and white movies !
DeleteOh I had forgotten how big synchronized swimming was back when I was a kid. We had a Regatta every summer, and synchronized swimming was always a part of it.......I remember we all used to wear those hideous rubber helmet things on our heads too.
ReplyDeletewater has its music too - lovely concept
