All kinds of people I see at the pool.

All kinds of people I see at the pool

Wearing suits that are polka dot, checkered and cool.

 

Their shapely bodies are slathered in lotion

Some swim laps with in a stealth rhythmic motion.

 

Muscled and scrawny. Tall and skinny

Pale or bronzed.  Maxi and mini.

 

People read books. Guys and gals flirt and stare

At the sexy young lifeguard who sits in the chair.

 

Kids nagging moms for another ice cream cone

Moms want to rest, but they give in with a groan.

 

College kids body’s shine in the sun

No worries of tests, quizzes or being under the gun.

 

Baby oil, Banana Boat and Coppertone wafts in the air

Smelling like summer, lazy days without a care.

 

Pale bodies begin to turn pink, time to pack up and get ready to go.

The kids whining, one more dive, one more slide. No No No!

    I really enjoy your poem! It\’s so refreshing! But I should add that on the bottom of the poem, the phrase \”No No No\” somewhat didn\’t match with previous sentences. Maybe if you work on that a little more, it will be a nice ending for this great work! Have a pleasant writing day! :)
