A Girl on the Swing

Chungmi Kim

She sees the mountain

upside down.

With her long hair

sweeping the fallen leaves

she swings

like a pendulum.

From the lagoon at sunset

a hundred sparrows fly away.

Wishing them back

she whistles softly.

And downward

she falls into the sky.

The neighbors are always out hanging out front of the building next door, and could easily use the playspace and keep an eye on it if there was some more fun equipment.

Here's a neat website I found that has some great community gardening and nature play ideas for kids, including educational component explained clearly for educators and parents: http://kidsgardening.com/

Check out the beanpole tepee!: http://ow.ly/krEO

Here's a really neat project I'd love to see us incorporate on one of our builds - http://cityrepair.org/how-to/placemaking/intersectionrepair/

They're also a great organization to get involved in a project directly if it's in their neighborhood (Portland).

I bet they'd be great guest presenters on a KaBOOM! webinar too!
