Notes About The Poem

May we think back on simpler times:

Simplicity

fluid arc,

   gurgling of hose,

giggling of little girls, with long hair.

     strawberry scent dizzies the air -

       suds are everywhere.

            waterfall rainbow rinses

youths cinnamon strands,

            chubby cheeks jiggling.

sunshine dries soaked hair

   as they continue to play

            in my fresh air memories.
