I’ve dialled down the brightness and the contrast, because it was too cheerful. \n\nThe Slide\n\nAt the far end of the park\nThere was a slide\nNo kids would climb the steps \nNo shout, no plea, no bribe\nWould make them do it\nThey said it was cursed\nThey said a witch child lived there\nAt the top of the slide\nAnd if you climbed to the top\nHe would grab you and make you \nSit at the top with him\nAnd he would not let you go home\nTo your mum and dad\nAnd you would grow old and die\nBut he would not grow old, or die\nSo the man who owned the park\nTried to knock the slide down\nBut it stayed where it was\nSo he built a big shed\nWith no door round the slide\nAnd hung a sign on the shed\nThat said\n‘NOT IN USE - KEEP OFF’\nbut kids would peep through\nThe knot holes in the shed walls\nAnd they would swear they saw\nThe witch child at the top of the slide\nAnd they would swear that they heard\nHim say ‘Come sit with me a while. \nCome sit.’", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreiaxtsd3kuqfqy67hy22woo2wn4t4zulxg2vijzeahntmb2i3mtibu" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 770947 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 1080, "height": 1350 } } ] }, "langs": [ "en" ], "facets": [ { "index": { "byteEnd": 41, "byteStart": 36 }, "features": [ { "tag": "poem", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] }, { "index": { "byteEnd": 49, "byteStart": 42 }, "features": [ { "tag": "poetry", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] }, { "index": { "byteEnd": 58, "byteStart": 50 }, "features": [ { "tag": "verseve", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] }, { "index": { "byteEnd": 75, "byteStart": 59 }, "features": [ { "tag": "poetrychallenge", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] }, { "index": { "byteEnd": 88, "byteStart": 76 }, "features": [ { "tag": "onesyllable", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] }, { "index": { "byteEnd": 105, "byteStart": 89 }, "features": [ { "tag": "poetrycommunity", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] }, { "index": { "byteEnd": 120, "byteStart": 106 }, "features": [ { "tag": "blueskypoetry", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#tag" } ] } ], "createdAt": "2025-04-30T21:18:47.066Z" } }
