The Abandoned Pool - NaPoWriMo - #5
 |
| Pool |
I haven't seen anybody swim in it or play
There is no water there inside of it,
only dust and more dust and a mattress or two
Those mattresses, I don't know how they came to be
Maybe they were under pressure, wanted to be free
There's clearly a pair of denim there, and a cluster of leaves
maybe, finding clothes in the pool, is not of their pet peeves
'Their' you ask, who is 'their'?
obviously the 'others', love, isn't it clear?
The others, who stay at the same place I do,
maybe for them, it's totally cool to let it stew
Anyway, not unlike the pool, the fence is a bit rusting,
but I don't see why it won't do with a little dusting
Maybe it's time, the pool would use a hand or four,
to shine it up, and let the water soar

Also, I am in competition with one of my blogger friends, Ashna. I am obviously winning, but you can still check out her poems at her blog here.
A simple poem about a simple item with a somewhat philosophical message! I wonder what makes people create dumps of things that can actually be beautiful. It's kind of sad.
ReplyDeletePS- I think you could change the title to show 'Po' instead of 'No' :P You seem to be stuck in November.
