Plunge
I dove into the chaos of you.
Head first and with intention.
A sleek entry, very little splash.
Total commitment, a perfect 10.
It wasn’t until I was underwater
That I realized the current below
Was far more deadly than the chaos at the surface.

A lot said in a few words, Loved last line.
I hatne it when that happens! Well done.
Whoops. In the above comment I meant “hate.”
I love how well you develop the metaphor.
Having been caught in an undertow, I doubly appreciate the metaphor.
Swimmingly delicious!
Great poem, every line packs a punch and there’s a story line. Love it.
Such a thought provoking poem. I love your “all in” sleek diving metaphor and the vivid contrast with the chaos. Well done.
Love how well you use the diving metaphor to describe this obviously imperfect relationship! The story perfectly told in
just eight lines! Awesome!
