His resolve was not broken the very least

Sunday's Whirligig 12 given words:
chasing jagged remains sheared swims missing 
wise keep basket broken pilgrim sorrow 

Excitement of chasing a dream
Jagged as it might seem
But it remained with a flourish
Sheared of glamour that he had wished

Still getting in the drink
Was not a whim
He took to water for lots of swims
A skilled life-saver nothing was missing

Wise move to be a kayaker playboating
One of the ways to keep himself trim
Enhanced his prowess in his basket of fancies
His resolve was not broken the very least

A pilgrim of his desires he chose to undergo
To be a fresh-water sportsman to discard the sorrow
