Best Playground Poems

Playground…

Playground…
I am making decisions every morning,
None of them comes along with any warning.
To go right or to go left, which one is right?
Living in darkness or hoping to see light.
I made million decisions, most of them fine,
Few I made that I think it wasn’t mine....

We are all in the devil's playground, 
now watch as I breach over and hold on to God's hand real tight.

#1. The underground is never lonely, to many hot dates. 

#2. The host and the guest never seem to rest.

#3. The light will always...

In a playground of mud

One time I made friends with a pig
He had the most wonderful gig
In a playground of mud
My new friend went thud
I’ll tell you, that sucker was big

Then one day it seemed he was shaken
I realized that he was mistaken
I said, have...

Plastic Playground


The plastic playground sits on land,

Land now defaced of nature’s scheme.

Scheme offers colored shapes pristine—

Pristine like board games played inside.

I bent my mind around her ideas
became engrossed by playful words
Yet the thoughts were so horrific
my tears flowed and eyes were blurred 
Sandbox baby playing
laughter and childish sounds
the weight of pain enormous
as a parent's joy turned into frowns

Sandbox baby oh so precious 
is society to...

I live in the shell of my body,
   though it houses me very well,
      I can walk to my deep secret places-
         and when I'm there, no one can tell.

At one-hundred grandpa dreams of a fling
Scoring the streets for a saucy young thing
   He's mastered a line
   That works every time
'Come to my playground, and learn how to swing!'...

unknown to anyone 
down a convoluted secret path
in a hidden corner of my heart

it's there and waits for me
beneath a summer sun
the playground of my youth

and when quietly I listen
I still hear the sweet melody
of children's laughter

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...

Kids go down
The slide…they head toward the swings
TIME TO SCREAM!

Free time ends
Their parents want to go home
Frowns exchange...

“The World’s Playground”

"Ring around the roses. Ring around the roses".

Jack the ripper, he slept with a whore, and became deadly ill 
Awhile his wife Jill became suicidal dependent on the Prozac pill 
Mother Goose lost all four of her children it was easy to ignore.
She...

The yard  my world
Or so I’m told
Was where I spent my time
 Where this little lass
A tomboy too
Loved rolling in the grass.

Trees ladened with  mangoes
 yellowed with ripe
 A great temptation to this little child
 Who with a stone and David’s aim
 Brought...

Piercing screams slice the air
Creating a sense of joy with laughter
Coloring the moments in exhilaration
Left behind from some child’s imagination

Echoes of small feet darting and sprinting
Leaving stirrings of complete abandonment
The knowing that comes from sharing hours
Spent in breathless bliss, creating wonders
That last through the day...
