I was skinny dipping by the beach,
Building sandcastles, collecting shells,
Making crowns out of seaweed,
Watching the paper boats sail.
The deep blue called me in,
The serenity, tempting me,
Step by step, I walked in,
Until the waves swallowed me.
I woke up in the middle of an ocean,
Gasping for breath, rapidly sinking,
Cursing my stupid decision,
Wracking my mind for a solution.
I had to find my way back,
Safe and sound to the land,
Even if it means learning to swim,
In the middle of an ocean.

this is so beautiful.
is it possible that instead of “wreaking”, which means: cause (a large amount of damage or harm).
you intended to write “racking” or (the alternative spelling) “wracking”?
see here: https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/racking+my+brain. I hope this helps, and please forgive me if I’m wrong.
Thank you so much for your appreciation. And thank you again for pointing out. You’re not wrong. 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Swim, drown or, you could’ve learn to fly… 😉 Nicely written.
I wish I could have grown some gills though… 😂😂😂 Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️
Lol. My pleasure.
😂🤗🤗💖
This flows beautifully like the ocean waves you describe. The imagery is lovely and the story tragically beautiful and haunting. I think grammatically, Ben may have a point about the use of the word “wreaking”, but I saw it more poetically as a purposeful word play to insinuate the idea that thinking of a solution was “wreaking” havoc in your mind. Either word does not make any difference it how well this is written. Well done!
Thank you so much, Brad!! I’m so glad you like it. 🙈🙈💗💗♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰About wreaking and wracking, I actually didn’t ponder upon it for long. I just wrote what came to my mind. 😂😂🙈🙈🤪
In that case, the word you chose was perfect!

Wonderful post Shreya. This would be a swim of hope.
Thank you so much, dear! 💗💗💗 So glad you like it. 🥰🥰🥰 Swim of hope, it is!! 😍😍🤗🤗
You had me at skinny dipping by the beach. 😍😍 Outstanding poem, Shreya, on many levels!
Haha… I knew it!! 🙈🙈🙈 Thank you so much, Dave!! 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️ How are you?? 💖
I’m thankfully doing much better! Thank you for asking! ❤❤😘😘😘😘 Just not yet ready to go skinny dipping yet, haha.. but I miss swimming. I will get back in the water next week, I hope. Do you like to swim, Shreya?
Haha … I’m glad you’re doing better and almost ready for a dip. I like to swim, but I don’t swim really well. 😂😂
That’s okay. Skinny dipping doesn’t need much skill. It’s very freeing, but we’d have to be very careful trying it in public. 😂😘😘
Haha… True! 😂😂😂😋🙈🙈🙈♥️
Amazing 🤩
Thank you so much, Era! 💖💖💖
pleasure 💙🤗
