    Into the Pool

    Brilliant colors, invitation
    to our yearly pool party,
    carried by our winged friends
    to the edge of summer.

    I’ve food and drink
    enough for all.
    Dig in and enjoy.
    All I ask is, be polite.

    Our neighbors
    may annoy us some,
    but they are not the feast.
    Take some cake,

    don’t eat them up.
    Do not be a savage.
    If you’re hangry, wait until
    the party has concluded.

    Into the Pool

    as you fly so high
    blue sky and gray cloud mark you
    bring us hopeful joy
