I have enjoyed writing poetry since childhood and I am hoping to find a wider audience on my blog, sharing the hope that I have and connecting with others.

The Waterfight

Weeks of waiting, pleading for
A water soaking time outdoors-
Bunch of Balloons filled with ease;
Toddler drops them from the knees.
Confetti of broken balloons strewn about;
Smiles we cannot do without-
Squeals of delight as buckets drench backs;
Feet slomp slomp and balloons go “splat”.
Hoses soak and sprinklers cool;
Children splash water from wading pool-
An hour or more passes, it’s time to go in;
It matters not if there was a “win”-
Truly the aim was for laughter and fun;
Today brought smiles to everyone!

    I worked at a daycare years ago when I was in college. The toddlers LOVED playing with water in the summer. This brings back happy memories! :)

      I’m glad to have helped remind you of those lovely times. 😀 My 2 year old loves to splash about in the bath, pool, beach- anywhere. There’s something so enjoyable about water play!
