Your Face Is Like a Playground

Your face is like a playground
with curved edges inviting
energetic laughter all around,
nostalgically exciting.

Your eyes are like a swing set,
lashes flapping with each blink.
Sometimes puddles below stay wet,
but your tears I'd love to drink.

Your brows, like two seesaws aligned
befittingly side by side
are fun to watch when I find
emotions take them for a ride.

Your smile, like a magic bridge,
connects distant friends together,
lifting high upon each ridge
as softly as a feather.

Your nose is like a double slide
architecturally created,
reflecting a warm, sun-kissed glide,
ideally located.

Your ears are like a talk tube,
hearing every whispered word
next to the tic-tac-toe cube,
to which your earrings are referred.

Your mind, like a merry-go-round
spins lively thoughts to adore.
Your face is like a playground,
with plenty to explore.

Thanks, Caren. I couldn't find a way to incorporate money bars. I don't think anyone would want someone tugging on their face like that.
