To try to reignite sparks

Playground

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

Their parents want to go home
Frowns exchange

Bullies

Children laugh,
scoffing at heartaches of
lonely souls sobbing
in corners of the playground;
but the bully is really a coward.

The Birds - a Tribute To Alfred Hitchcock

Peaceful playground scene
Bars behind her smoke-break bench
A single crow lands...

Cecilia’s silliest cause:
To vandalize parks for guffaws.

Saw saucy Cece saw seesaws.

The world is a playground.
Using animal reasoning that's sound,

the sky is now my playground
leave behind my blues

Premium Member dark musty shed

dark, musty old shed
in the far corner of the school playground
another recess
transfixed 
by the dark texture of the wood
all at once
alone
and home

Premium Member A child's world

A puddle was his playground.
Tiny boat floating to a faraway land.
Grounds for a fertile imagination.

On the Playground

I chased Leela Kilpatrick as a game
She turned around and kicked me with no shame
To mama that day
I just had to say
I thought she tried to live up to her name!

Premium Member Recess Is Over

as the school bell rings
children are shrieking with glee

    recess is over.

          a sudden rain of bombs leaves
          the playground deathly silent
war
