Skinny-Dipping Poem by Belle Wassermeister
Skinny-Dipping
We walked along the dusty trail,
no shoes upon our feet.
Hot summer day.
The river was not far away,
and we could hardly wait.
No sign of rain.
My sister Sue and cousin Beth,
Rosanna Dunn, and I.
The best of friends.
We saw a snake, but had no fear;
just stayed out of its way.
Left it alone!
We started taking off our clothes
before we reached our spot.
Hang up that bra!
Our clothes were strung along the trail,
hung up where they'd stay dry,
and here's our pool!
The others went to skinny-dip,
one thing I couldn't do.
I chunky-dunked.
I was always much larger than my friends, even at a very young age.
Whether you went skinny dipping or chunky dunk, I am sure you enjoyed your time in the water! This has brought a train of childhood memories into me....! Relish the humour!
The river sounds delightful whether skinny dippping or chunky dunking. I can relate to this as I used to be very close to my family and cousins growing up and have fond memories too. I love how you presented the poem and your humor in it is refreshing and delightful. I shall try to find time to do more reading and check out your poetry when I am able. Thank you for reading and commenting on mine as well. :) Aqua
