dark, musty old shed in the far corner of the school playground another recess transfixed by the dark texture of the wood all at once alone and home

You must be curious. The shed is oddly in a school yard. I like the mysterious tone of your poem.

This poem has some basis in reality. The shed was actually in a house on the other side of a chain link fence, in someone's back yard, but it was right against the fence in a corner of the playground. I was curious about it. It seemed really old.

And who might be staying there, we wonder..dark, musty, alone, home..every line brings a new idea.

i think i'm vaguely trying to nudge myself towards a little more mystery, to suggest things, rather than laying them out. i blame years of business writing for my challenge in that area.
