The fresh interesting part is the swimming metaphor. Consider focusing on that, how the writer teaches/trains the poems to swim.

Ending with the hope the poems will make readers' days sweeter doesn't suggest the speaker has a very serious goal in their writing. A good poem can certainly sweeten a day, but without being more specific about some of the ways it might do that, it doesn't sound like a serious or worthwhile goal.

FWIW.
