Anais Vionet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

poolside

I love a long holiday and as a general rule
you’ll find me out by a turquoise pool
cause it’s hot outside and I’m nobody's fool.

Closing my eyes I lazily daydream
listening to my favorite music stream
umbrella shaded from harsh sunbeams.

I’ve put away polemic school assignments
for leisure and tastier desultory refinements
like buffalo wings, pizza and dirty martinis
and the barely there cool of a string bikini.

Geeze. . . . Also, very nice shot, where is this pool, and what is that creature over your R shoulder on the edge of the pool? (I did end up having a VERY nice 5th of July!) Anais Vionet July 5, 2025 at 8:57 PM Aww, thanks - it wasn’t hard - that’s what we were doing that day. The pool’s on roof of our apartment building, I think that’s a BBQ grill? Happy 6th! (in 5 minutes) =]
