The Golden Rule
By Barb Abney
When what the world portends makes you blue,
To thine own lake be true.
COVID, war, work and school,
Can make your life seem less than cool.
Not to mention the price of fuel!
When it all seems just a little too cruel,
Remember Lucky’s Golden Rule –
To thine own lake be true.
O, that these were mountains on a mirror lake
Generative Writing with Water
By Suzanne S. Austin-Hill
Of our waterways, we are stewards; opportunities abound –
Do the wrong thing – conditions worsen
Partnerships produce plans – guiding authorities to
Do the right thing – responsible, logical, feasible
I write new poems in collaboration with bodies of water,
inspired by the sights and sounds of their shores.
I dip my poems into these sacred wells,
quickly retrieving revision.
Oceans, lakes, rivers, streams – sources of creativity, good health, life

The Colors of Cane
By Michael Zahn
iPads are red,
TVs are blue,
get off that couch
we’ve got swimming to do!
Swimsuits are red,
swimsuits are blue,
physique is a factor,
and attitude, too —
a Speedo inspires
(and so does J.Crew)
Swim caps are orange,
swim caps are green.
Neon’s advantage:
You can be seen.
Neoprene’s great
if Cane’s temp is polar.
Ears turning blue?
Just yank it lower.
Tow floats are pink,
(yeah, some are yellow).
If shore’s afar,
and your core
turns to jello,
orange you glad
you brought your
buoy?
Yo!
Cane sky might blush red,
Cane clouds might blow blue,
no matter the weather
I love swimming
with you
