My girl’s a lake girl.
It’s cool.
My girl’s straw cowboy hat
tips forward
against the sun
as she lounges
on the sand bar.
My girl’s tangerine bikini
bobs like a
sleepy emergency alert
as she floats
on an air mattress.
My girl’s blonde pony tail bounces
while she cuts the engine
climbs to the bow
and drops anchor.
My girl’s pink yoga mat
hangs over her shoulder
as she walks
to the beach
to salute the sun.
My girl’s red bike
pedals to the marina
to take the the boat out for a cruise
and then pedals home again.
My girl’s blue eyes
scan the horizon as
she lifts the window shade
to check the wave report.
My girl’s sun-tanned shoulder
drops horizontal
as she pulls her waterski
with one arm
around a button-hook turn.
My girl’s a lake girl.
It’s cool.
