Ellip Playground

slippery...downhill ride...playground slide

climbing boys...monkey bars...broken bones

Isaiah Zerbst Date: 2/28/2013 8:23:00 AM What a picture! Sometimes shorter poems can attain a level of thought that larger ones are incapable of, and this one has done that in my mind. The unspoken is as powerful as the printed word.
