unknown to anyone down a convoluted secret path in a hidden corner of my heart it's there and waits for me beneath a summer sun the playground of my youth and when quietly I listen I still hear the sweet melody of children's laughter AP: 2nd place 2021 Submitted on June 13, 2021 for contest PLAYGROUND sponsored by SHREYA LN

A lovely poem--succinct and touching. I need to write a darker image of this poem (which was my own experience) where the playground is haunted by unfulfilled hopes of friendship. But I still have a sanctuary in "a hidden corner of my heart," and I think you are alluding to this basic human phenomenon.

The echoes must be so soothing - the laughter of children - the most innocent of sounds. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Echoes, whispers more intimate than love-making. Enchanting write, Line.
