At the City Pool

I’m sitting here relaxing with great ease

   since swimming laps here at the city pool.

         It’s Saturday and there’s a little breeze

            this afternoon, which makes it slightly cool.

               I’m feeling glad that Monday there’s no school

               and worries of the week are in the past.

            I’m happy too that I have time at last

         to sit and write a little poetry.

      I need to write some more and do it fast. . . 

   My sweet time into darkness soon shall flee.


Written Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016 for the Dizain Poem II Contest of Laura Loo
