Dad in the Pool

DAD IN THE POOL
by April Halprin Wayland

Back and forth
in the pool
you glide:

An undersea
creature
gives me a ride.

We slip through the summery
turquoise
water…

A manatee
guiding his
mermaid daughter.

My all-time favorite photo of my dad, Leahn J. Halprin, who died in 1976, whose birthday was April 21st.
