Games For All Ages

[imrogue]

Hopscotch,
bean bags,
kick the can
and Double-dutch

Jack with stones
and hula hoops
Chinese ropes
And piggybacks

Marbles here,
marbles there
Traffic cop
and Tether ball

Parachuting
with Wiffle balls
jump the ropes
while rollerskating

Skipping ropes
Hide and seek
Water fights
Sprinkler-dodging

Cops and robbers
kiss chasers

Go! and Stop!

Skateboard and Rollerblade and after we're done some lemonade. Joyful playful fun poem!

thank you!

This one makes me smile imrogue! Playful fun and interesting - I sense a rhyme/slant rhyme scheme I've never seen before - first and last word of each stanza. Was that intentional?

[imrogue]

RLW thanks for reading and for noticing rhymes first and last words of each stanza... I am not sure... i just noticed other poets doing it that way... and not sure whether i was doing it correctly... lol... Maybe we can ask Piperfancy or MHenry...

[pipersfancy]

Lovely pace to this piece, playful sounds and use of line breaks add to the theme. Still—wistfully nostalgic in the sense that we so seldom see children engaging in the traditional joys of childhood these day...
