She never heard the teacher —
“Time to come in.”
Practicing how to flip on a swing
She chose the lower one
Hit her head
blacked out
everyone gone recess over
that’s all right
I’m all right
pain aside one more time
Flip
now the nurse
A childhood memory? Persistent, weren’t you?
I would most definitely call that an adventurous, strong-willed child. And I’d like to know her. I’m guessing she is you – so I’m glad I DO.
Learning in recess
who would of thunk it
got it in her head to flip
it didn’t hurt to bump it
Oh, Nancy! I love it when you leave a poem in the comments.
Oh dear.
That little flip
out
got her
out
of afternoon
class
I presume.

I love the spirit of the child, whoever she is. 😉
And all I can think about is brain damage. Occupational hazard. But it made me smile anyway.
I blacked out when I did a flip on the monkey bar to show off for a boy after school. Flip. Thud. Woke up to, “Wow!” No adult. No nurse. I prayed I wouldn’t die.
