Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

I stand still and tall.
I live in parks and playgrounds.
I wish I could move.
I dream of children sliding and playing on me.
I hate when people climb up the sides of me.
I smell dirty shoes that have been running on me.
I hear children laughing and singing every day.
I don’t eat anything.
I electrocute people on hot days.
I wonder what my future holds.
I imagine I could come alive.
I can’t watch T.V.
I love peace and quiet.
I am very colourful.
I am a playground.
