me in between.
i surf in thick and thin
a feather boat. the sky
above the sea beneath
me in between a dove
serene. my mirror is a water
wall, my destiny i’ve never
seen. the little fish -- i swal-
lowed her one gulp so
clean without detection
into the sea of my reflection.
between the earth and sea i rest my soul. my life hangs in the balance as i roll.

Thank you OG-P!
I'm certain you must realise I inadvertently overlooked this comment. Forgive me, please.
I am touched by your diligent desire to create a critical eye. This is certainly an avenue to learning the more subtle shades of literary criticism. It will serve you well.
Yes, the elegant swan takes centre stage and for a moment fills the wordspace of my canvas, making it a concrete or form poem.
Much of the beauty of the swan might lie hidden underneath its feathers much the same way that the words are hidden in the shape and the meaning in the words.
Yours sincerely
