Trip To The Pool Poem by Kellsey Hartmann

The sun bakes the earth from above
Heat radiates from the pavement below
Why can't it be the cooling night?
This horrid sun replaced by the moon's glow?

I step out on the sidewalk
Sweating not two feet from my door
I burn my feet on the sidewalk
It's days like this I deplore

I go to the pool
Not two blocks away
But sweat drips down my back
On this sunny, so hot day

I throw down my towel
And jump right in
Cool enough, so I stay all day
Until the sun grows dim

The pool is crowded
The water is warm
I see a puddle of ice cream
Where the bees all swarm

I dry off and go home
My heated body cooled
What a relief on this day!
Was my trip to the pool
