Every Sunday on the way to church we drive by the same park. One time I glanced out and was struck by the haunting beauty of the play equipment against the stark bleak winter landscape. The poem that follows was inspired by that drive. I tried to continue it through the seasons but in the end decided to keep it short and sweet.
Playground In Winter
A. L. Zlomke
A playground in the winter
is like a stately widow
peeking through tattered lace curtains
hoping someone will come over and visit
