Another Stonehenge
built by the overcautious –
few children come play.

Yellow climbing frame
molded plastic mimicry –

Shallow creek below
with sticks, rocks, rope swings, danger –
hear the children play.

The creek with sticks and stuff is right down my alley! Although the Stonehenge wanna-be looks fairly enticing. I need some of those for my yard.
On my Blog about the Metal detecting - I might have posted something on my blog about my finds, but don't thing so. On the lower sidebar is a Google Search Box where you can search my blog.
I've found a few coins, a mystery relic believed to be a diamond plucker made in the latter 1900s, a sterling silver World War 2 war effort pin from Remington Arms manufacturing awarded to the plant workers for their war efforts. And a few shot gun shells that date back to the 1800s. Miscellaneous stuff like that.
Cool .

So true. Nature is the best playground for kids.

Good view on the world.
great poems!
Great pictures but I really like the haiku's to go with!
Nature is the best playground. There's a lot of discussion at the minute in Scotland about appropriate play areas and how to manage risks for children without stifling their creativity, imagination and physical development. Your post really fits in with all that. (Sadly I couldn't actually see the second and third photos!)
You told a story in your series and it was wonderful. My fondest memories as a child were in creeks and rivers.
Hi, glad to find your interesting blog. I love haiku, and these are so much fun. The creek! Wouldn't you love that as a kid?
This was very beautiful! I could hear the kids laughing and playing!
Thanks for visiting my WW yesterday!
I had a hard time with this week's prompt, but you really went with it! These are great! Well done. Water is where it is at when you are a kid (or a grown up kid).
so true...the architecture of nature is the best fit
Oh, this is a wonderful series. This brings me back to my childhood, were my playground was the woods. We built paths, forts and swung on rope swings over the creeks. Love the sound of children playing. Thanks!
