THE BLUE MAN

Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)

The Blue man circles
Invisibly in a pool,
Choking lone swimmers

The Blue Man drowning
Everyone he encounters,
In a public pool.

Diving down the throat
Of a beautiful bather,
Drowning her quickly.

The Blue Man appears
As from nowhere to drag
A woman to her death.

Hunting lone swimmers
The Blue Man enters them,
Taking another victim.

The Blue Man stalking
Lone unwary swimmers,
Taking them to their deaths.

The Blue Man Wailing
Like an injured porpoise,
Luring lonely swimmers.
