There’s a photograph Of me
and my best friend
We are maybe seven
standing in the backyard under an umbrella
with a sprinkler
bathing suits on

Later we would
have pudding pops
float in the pool
swing
color
maybe
play barbies

Look at our
smiles
we are laughing
or were just laughing
or were about to start laughing

sprinklers with umbrellas
laughing with best friends
that’s
what summer meant

Happy April! Happy Poetry Month! 

I’m looking for poetry challenges. Today I wrote a photographic poem!
