hot summer night
skinny dipping in the pool
kids sound asleep
toddlers giggling
splashing in the wading pool
naked
end of summer
children rarely seem to have
tan lines.

Summer freedom (Carpe Diem #497 nakedness
Published by Tournesol
A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

I love that one too…I could hear the echo of laughter writing this…how the voices echo with water.

Children are a lot more free than adults are … children don’t have shame about their nakedness they just like to be naked … as they become older and are becoming adults they will not have that freedom anymore … just a shame … nothing to be ashamed of … being naked … every one is beautiful … a creation of God

You’re absolutely right. I found my children were quite free and felt good about themselves more before they went to grade school.

I was thinking about this too — Mom says I had all the confidence and friendliness in the world — until kindergarten. 😦
