Arizona Slide

Come with me.
Do not hide.
Take my hand.
I'll be your guide.
March  up the stairs.
Let's take a ride.
Let me show you
fun on the slide.


     This is a slide in Carefree, AZ.  Notice the sun shade over the slide.  In Arizona most of the playgrounds for children have sun shades.  Without the canopy, the metal on the slide bed would scorch and possibly burn.  What is your favorite piece of playground equipment?  Can you write a poem about that today.

Midnight MAGIC

A snail
   slips along his trail,
       silver threads
           a road map
              for stars to slide
                 from the night
                    sky to dance
                           a jig in the garden.


     You have until 2:00 this afternoon, MST, to enter the drawing for a free copy of GUESS WHO'S IN THE DESERT, a rhyming riddle book written by Charline Profiri.  If you'd like to be entered in the drawing, leave a comment on my Friday post.
