Notes About The Poem

Summers End

SUMMER’S END

staying cool, in the pool,
where children are cruel,
on a very hot day—
Summer’s officially over.

from submarine fool,
fishy bubbling school,
plenipotentiary fuel—
a payload parade.

when the ping-pong jewels
surface - whirlpool
of fleeing ridicule.
afraid of riveting stool—
a flotsam snicker’s bar.

The worst part is the noise—
that awful fartastic that destroys
the floats, duckies, other toys.
it lasts and lasts…

it’s a spastic stinker,
a ferocious clinker —
it channels the sulfur pits of
Turkmenistan’s door to hell.

officially over,
the pool in deep cover—
no one hovers
near
the episodic rear of Summer.

I love Fall but it seems you might not. Still it’s been 5 months since Mom’s been gone…passing into another season without her has a melancholy. God bless you, sweet friend!
