Notes About The Poem

4/14/25 for Edward Ibeh's Pick-A-Title, Vol 50 - Poetry Contest

Title #2: In Playground of Imagination

_____________________________________________________________________

In Playground of Imagination

Come with me to my favorite place
in playground of imagination.
It’s such a beautiful happy space
to experience any sensation.

Rainbows above you burst in the sky.
Your thoughts and feelings have colors, you see
and here your muse will never run dry
because from the real world you flee.

Metaphors on monkey bars swing.
Hyperbole hangs from them too.
Be like a bird, and let your thoughts sing.
Yes, similes are sure to tag you.

Swing on the swing set and let your words play.
On the merry-go-round take a spin.
You can go just about any which way
if playground of imagination you’re in.

On the jungle gym climb, and let your mind slide
like a child’s, but once on the ground,
get right back up. Let sound be your guide.
Alliteration is usually around.

On the see-saw you can collaborate.
You can run free or play here with rhyme.
Fancy rules. She commands you create.
No limits are set. Just have a good time!

Metaphors on the monkey bars ... oh, just notice Gershon loves that line, too. The whole write is a pure delight, full of brilliant Andrea imaginative lines. I really feel I've been to a playground and had an unforgettable time. Love ... CayCay

Nice thing about thoughts, imagination, there are no limits as to where they can take you. I think we are happiest when being freely creative. Very well said.
