Pool Time

Part of Slice of Life at Two Writing Teachers

2:30
Clouds
Sun
It’s hot
Clouds
Sun
It’s hot
Let’s go to granny’s pool

3:30
Hot Sun
Cold Ice pops
Boys!
Please stop wrestling in the pool
Feel that sun?
Soak up that Vitamin D!

4:00
Boogie boards, destined for the beach
are tables in the pool for
A cut throat game of
Waterproof cards
Draw 4
The color is Blue
Uno

5:00
Suddenly the clouds disappear
It’s just sun and blue sky
The water is the perfect temperature
It’s time to go
But I’m just going to float for a little longer
Soaking up the warmth
Like Frederick

  1. This sounds so fun. I love that you repeat the “hot sun” in the first two timeframes and that it disappears in the game of waterproof Uno. I never knew there was such a thing. It makes me think you all finally got cool and the last verse confirms it! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I love how each stanza builds. It reminded me of the transition from an idea, when you have a few random thoughts, to the execution, when suddenly there are tons of details to attend to.
    I knew right away that the link was going to go to Leo Lionni’s book. ❤️
