The Pool

By Saskia Wilson
Grade 4

I see the water glitter in the sunlight

I jump in. A small splash is all that happens.

I dive underwater and my feet feel the water ripple.

The swish of the water whispers hello to me.

I can touch the bottom with my finger.

I curl up around people’s feet and spiral around.

Bubbles come from my mouth if I open it.

When I come up again I see the lilacs next to the pool.

My hair that whirled underwater is all in a tangle.
