I sit in the afternoon sun
listening to my granddaughter
chanting silly poetry from the pool
Many, many variations she has
as endings
to roses are red, violets are blue

Her chatter mingles with splashes
sometimes punctuated with a dog’s bark
sometimes pausing for the drone
of a low-flying plane

At times, her voice seems to twist and entwine
with chattering birds
and rustling leaves
or the swishing cedar boughs

Now we both listen
to singing tires on pavement
other sounds
lazily pause with expectancy

Her parents have arrived
