Swim Part 2

Goggles snapped on,

towel gone,

I dive into

the endless blue.

Bubbles rise

up and

break on

the surface

when I let out

a breath.

Tossing beach balls,

breathless from

laughing.

I twirl around,

soaked from

the water.

 

A thousand

pool noodle fights,

dodgeball games,

volleyball fails,

and bubbles later,

I emerge from

the pool.

Drenched and

ready for

a nap.
