Somewhere... out there...

Childhood Daze
    
Eerie echoes of children’s voices
fill deserted playgrounds of the mind
as shadows play little games
of hide and seek

Heart swings higher...
ever higher...

’up to the moon’

Teeter-totter of emotions...

up... down... up... down...


...down...


Merry-go-round spins faster...
ever faster...

as the world spins out of control...

Life...

a grown-up model
of the playgrounds of yesterday...

Revisions of something
familiar
are good...

they show us how much stronger it
and we

have become.

Your talent is showing, Ms Vicky! A clever title ~ as is the body of the poem! ~ which had my body and spirit swinging to and fro with your vividly descriptive writing!

Let's you and I go to a sun-filled happy playground where you and I can swing together! ~  Hmmm, that didn't come out 'write'!

Sending you a loving hug and a bucket-full of new hopes and dreams,

Love & Light,
Linda

Enjoyed. Melton

Enjoyed the contrast. Remembering the play grounds of days past. Dizzy with fear and yet delighted, enjoying shrieks of laughter. Mixed emotions. The play ground of today is so much more complicated, and  still we swing and teeter totter and spin in circles of emotions. Not as much fun as days gone past.  With you on this, best martyjo
