The Pool Of Various Depths Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The pool of various depths,
Offers more than many will accept.
The view for them can be overwhelming.

Some will choose to dive in,
To swim without fear.
While others will take measured steps,
With a hope to remain protective.
Holding onto that which is near.

And yet...
A few will prefer,
To stay as dry as possible.
Hoping no one notices,
They supervise from the sidelines.
Without knowing what it's like,
To have their heads under water!
Or...
Even being wet.
But from their perspective...
Can judge what others do,
To ensure a doing is appropriately done.
