Fluttering is an entergetic movement & being followed by a quiet still word (=nestled) doesnt Jive w ea other & it doesnt seem to Fit into the poetic description at all. Also the word "refugees" brings to mind vietnam or a war, Not really where u wanted my mind to "go"..... Since u titled it w the word "summer" in it i would expect a mention of "Heat" or the "Sun" to further put me there, maybe say thats Why they are bathing?

Fluttering frantically
nestled to the side
of their bath
filled to the brim
splashing, stretching
spilling water to the garden bed
refugees
from the blistering summer heat
family
bonding in simplicity
in simplicity...
content to breathe.
The ghost of my horse Spike runs with me always..!
