HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" Greetings, Dan Sturn! I am reviewing this because this is your anniversary month and today, you've been here 20 years! Wow! Almost as long as me. First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest. The Positives/What I Liked I have to say, this is the most interesting piece of poetry I've read in a while. I read it over several times and each time I gained from it. This is really very good. I definitely feel everyone could connect to this, in one way or another. Swimming is not only the perfect title, but a great way to describe our inner feelings as we struggle with situations in our lives. The concept of throwing your SELF in the stream and watching from the bank, was intriguing to me! I absolutely could understand why one might consider this. If only we actually could watch from the bank, right? It's such an interesting view you have come up with. I can't stop thinking about it! I love that first stanza, as it pulled me right in... but I think my favorite lines are toward the end: And deep inside the groaning, underneath the anger, pouring from the stream, I see that I am swimming too. Suggestions/Comments to Consider There's not one thing I would suggest to change this. Final Thoughts We are all swimming through life and at times loathe our inner SELF. What a great illustration you have created, describing what we all feel at times. You are obviously extremely talented. Thank you for sharing. This is very impressive, indeed. Have a great day and...
