POEM: Summer Cool
This was composed for the CPC Saturday Share poetry challenge. Angel Love’s line is “Trying to stay cool.”
SUMMER COOL
Trying to stay cool
down by the pool,
sitting beside a ghoul
named Raoul.
Sitting next to Raoul the ghoul,
my friends think I’m supercool.
They never met a ghoul,
much less one named Raoul.
Am I a fool
for thinking I look cool
sitting next to Raoul the ghoul
by the pool?
Do I look like an uncool tool?
After a day when the sun was shining so bright,
the night stars came out and cooled the night.
The sky was such a pretty sight.
Especially since I was tight,
still sitting beside Raoul the ghoul
down by the pool,
trying to look cool.
It was dark
in the park.
And so quiet,
except for the sound of a fark
in the dark of the park.
I didn’t want to seem uncool,
so I blamed it on Raoul.
