The Sullen Swimmer

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The sullen swimmer
Stands
Stoic-like
In the wake
Of the waves.
Observing.
An obsidian obelisk
Against
Waves of aquamarine.
A charcoal soul—
Pale visage—
The brooding bather
Solitary stands
In a crowd
Of recreational revelry.
Unmoved
The statue of stare
Observes
The fish schooling,
Fooling
In the murky abyss.

    a most impressive write;

  • Cheeky Missy

    Haha. Looks reminiscent of... surely not Charlie Chapman?! He's too dressed to enjoy skinny dipping, that must be it.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Hahaha! Yes! He looks like a cross between Chaplin and E.A. Poe! Quite the combo! Glad you enjoyed and it brought a smile to your face! I know it brings one to mine!

    • Dan Williams

      Very tasteful. I think E.A. Poe would approve.

      This poem effectively conveys a feeling of quiet isolation. The language is expressive, and the mood is consistent throughout. It’s a thoughtful and engaging piece. Well done dearest Tittu 🌹❤️ A fave ❤️
