Swings and slides
seesaws and sandboxes
What fun there was.
(Who remembers going to the playground when they were younger, then going again when they became an adult with their own children or relatives. While there did you try to do some of the things that you used to as a child like sliding down the slide backwards or swinging so high then jumping off. That was what made going to the playground fun. One memory I really have and still cherish is that there was one playground that had a hill and I remember me, my nieces and nephew going to the top of the hill and laying down and then rolling down the hill and we did several times.)

A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar
A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar Well not in a bar, per se, social media. After all, it is the bar of our modern times. It’s where we hook up with friends, family, dates, or trysts. Places like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others, all designed for social interaction with anonymity and limited consequences, for bad behavior. Often these entities dole out consequences to parties that are not causing a problem, and give a blind eye to serious problems.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Your haiku and brief description take your reader on a lovely trip down memory lane, whether it be from their own childhood or the childhood of their offspring. Well done.
Omgggg, I miss those good old days! This was so nostalgic!
Yes, and when I was young there were not all the "safety" features. We did monkey bars at our own risk, the whirling simple merry go 'round, swings on metal frames, slides that were metal.
I did that with my toddler son, pretending to do it for his safety.
