The park was filled with laughter
Shouts and feet running in time together
The swings making soft squeaks
The chains needs a drop or two of oil
The slide smooth and fast
Making you feel like flying
Now thought the swings have rusted
Barely able to move in the breeze
The slide falling apart
Half on the ground
There are only whispers heard here
From the adults who wish to be young again
Woot finished!!! That is poem 24!! So I did sleep a little more than planned at one point but I still made it through on time!! So I’m very proud of myself. And of everyone else who had done the full or half marathon!!!
“there are only whispers heard here” great line about looking back.
Thank you!! I’m actually quite pleased with this poem. There are a few little mistakes and I might one day revise.
