Sandbox Is Rusty

Sandbox is rusty The swing is covered with mold They are so lonely Without their bluebird Playing and squealing on hold Disappeared no word Little chair’s broken Vines withered away and brown Hope you’ll be back ‘round Drum beats no longer Tambourine’s quieter than quiet Frozen berries thawed Mimi’s arms aching For her Wrenna girl to hold just don’t understand

A very sad statement in your awesome poem, Kristi. Loneliness is painful and leaves us with feelings of confusion that can be dangerous. Well stated through the imagery of the rusty sandbox and moldy swing. Great work! Best wishes, Carolyn

Isolation or loneliness exists in isolation. Once it is shared, it evaporates
