Hour 1<\/p>\n
Write a poem about being in water. It can be about swimming, the shower, a bath, the rain, etc.<\/p>\n
Blub\u2026 Blub\u2026 Bubble, Burst<\/i><\/p>\n
Rising to\u00a0 the surface<\/p>\n
With water all around<\/p>\n
It\u2019s difficult, like fighting syrup<\/p>\n
To keep your head above ground<\/p>\n
The pull of cooling water,<\/p>\n
the current, the sound,<\/p>\n
The peaceful nature of its pull<\/p>\n
Follows you around<\/p>\n
To the point that when you leave<\/p>\n
You can hear it still<\/p>\n
Blub, blub, bubble, and burst<\/p>\n
A ripple and thunder,<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not the worst<\/p>\n
Someone saw you as you left<\/p>\n
And stole your silken suit<\/p>\n
The fur which made water friend<\/p>\n
You can no longer go down deep<\/p>\n
Blub\u2026 blub\u2026 bubble, burst<\/p>\n
To the depths of Selkie\u2019s song<\/p>\n
To fight the witch\u2019s curse.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re stuck above with human hands<\/p>\n
Captured by an ignorant man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
