Nick Bagnall Poet Rhyme

Protected

This place it is protected
It's all that we have left
You've built on every other space
Of green fields we're bereft

This one last space is ours now
You cannot have it back
We need a place to run and play
Or have a picnic snack

This place it is protected
Please keep off the grass
Your diggers and your big machines
We shall not let them pass

Come see our peaceful meadow
Now please just go away
Leave it to the children
As one last place to play



From England

Kabuteng P.Ink K. January 21, 2010 at 8:39 AM This is so true, hopefully that development in an area doesn't mean sacrificing recreational places for family and kids--really liked the tone you set here in your poem and your last stanza rounded it up really well :)
