the girl on the monkey bars

Never will she stop beetroot chops My daughter's Tenth time swinging across Children behind waiting, their arms crossed in a strop I call out and say, Being fair you are not Then reaching quickly she climbed to the top Pointing her finger toward the near ice cream shop I nod in agreement Both are smiling a lot My daughter runs over excited and hot

This is so sweet. I chose the same theme but made it naughty instead (not posted yet). I think the judge will love your poem

thank you :) seeing the title "The Girl on the Monkey Bars" instantly took me back to when I stupidly chose the hottest day that summer for us to visit the park. ( heaving with children with the same red faces as my daughter) I'm so glad you enjoyed reading xx
