Best Swimming Pool Poems

Deep end diving; shallow end Fear.
Barbecue host and nobody near.
Crystal, shimmering; fish to eat. . .
Lounge chair Dolphin wets her feet....

Black lucid sky-

Sun and moon’s swimming pool

Stars are guards.

The scene is a bit too bright, and the
Water is a bit too tart. Slightly acidic,
But mostly enticing, it feels good to him.

With measured step 
He walks up - jumps - 
And falls in.

Plunging deeper he tries to see 
But the chlorine burns his eyes,
A...

My swimming pool is full of fur, pee, and dog poo.
Your dogs contaminate my pool and it's because of you.
Every day while I'm at work, you use my pool to bathe your twenty-five mutts.
When I asked you to stop it, you gave me the finger...

T-wentieth January morn
H-as made the day sunny; 
E-vening shadows disappear, 
A-s the dawn breaks early.

P-ouring rain Thursday
E-vades the Friday occasion 
N-ew light is rising
A-bove the horizon.
R-emembering your birth
E-liminates the dark night; 
D-elight is truly brought, 
O-nce the sun denies the twilight.
N-o more mist and haze,...

Dry Swimming Pool

He learned how to play with a loose tool;
Suffered from much criticism and ridicule,
When he had lied,
After a while died,
Being fool who dove into dry swimming pool.

Tourist Hotel´s Pool  

The swimming pool at the hotel is empty
guests are having supper.
On limpid water two big yellow balls float
asleep after being thrown about all day.
Around the pool deep green artificial grass,
and a ditto tree that sheds no leaf.
Nature has been recreated. 
No...

Incident at the Swimming Pool

By Elton Camp

The public pool was crowded that July day
Bruce dove into the water in his usual way
He thought that he’d made quite an impression
Judging by gasps and their facial expression

When girls giggled and pointed right at him
He thought, “They think...

Inland swimming pool.

 Between two hills, a chasm, in winters rain fills up the gap
a lake is born, in May, June and the middle of July the water
 is fine, if a bit greying.
The lake has no outlet and is used by farmers for their...

heaven and beauty swimming in a pool
i am too shy to start a conversation
her body is a personal conversation all to itself
i wonder if she came here alone
i wonder what makes her the happiest
i wonder what sad happenings are in the closet of her mind

Which lover of swimming pool 
Would begin to feel like a fool
And think lovelier a pond,
Because in it a Swimmer Blonde?
 
And which user of the pool
Would now keep to some stool, 
Until he’s sighted a pond 
Because you’d waved your magic wand?

Then, ahead wave...

Watch the people in the pool
As they kick and splash,
Knowing that their pool days
Will be over in a flash.

Noodles, tubes and swimmies
Help to keep the kids afloat 
While the grown-ups stand there, cooling off
And trading tales of note.

The only thing you rarely see,
As summertime is...

A swimming pool for the dog?
My husband acts like I am mad.
Does he not remember my manmade bog?
A delicious pool for the most pets I ever had....

I dreamt of Babe Ruth
in Howard Johnsons' 
lighted pool doing

the backstroke so brilliantly.
No bats lying around
anywhere. warm water

reflected dorsal pecs, 
beautiful biceps, round
spiral muscles fanning

along so softly.
Finally finding the nerve
to say: Babe! your a

ballplayer; Sultan of swat.
Smiling at me timidly:
I'm a ballplayer and a

a swimmer....
