We are just past the half-way point for NaPoWriMo! I figured after all the serious writing that's been going on, it was only fair to include a little play. For today's prompt, I'd like you to write a poem that incorporates the idea of a child's game - board game or a physical game (tag, hide and seek, etc.). I've included a video of some commercials for board games if you need any extra inspiration.
As always, this should be a new poem, created especially for this prompt. Once you are done playing around with your piece, follow the links to check out what your fellow Toads have created.
I was an only child in a neighborhood with no children and living in a hous of adults. But I still managed to play and have fun. Thanks for this fun prompt.
@ Sanaa & Margaret - I'm glad it brought back happy memories. @ Paul - No worries. NaNoWriMo can get so hectic. @ Vivian - I'm glad you enjoyed the prompt. @ Gillena - Reminisce away! @ Bjorn - I giggled at the equating of marbles with war, but I suppose the players took it as seriously as one with their prized marbles on the line in every battle. @ Toni - It's a good thing children are so adept with coming up with their own fun when needed. @ Shay - Tell Mr. Green to go polish his candlestick. You have poems to write. @ Rosemary - Ugh. Computer problems are the worst. Glad it got resolved and you got to play along anyway.

ReplyDeleteIt was Mr. Green in the Conservatory. (Pardon my lateness, it was due to circumstances blah blah...)
