Running
Through the forest
Running
Through the trees
Ducking & weaving
Through the bushes
Crunching on
The autumn leaves
I hide
Behind a log
Quiet
As can be!
“Shhhh”
“Don’t tell anyone
I am here!”
“I am playing
'Hide – And – Seek'
“I don’t want the boys
To find me!”
I giggle mischievously
Peek – a – booing
Through the bushes
Just
For a second
To see
If
Those silly boys
Have
Followed me here!
“Nope”
“Coast is clear!”
“Yaaay!"
“Nobody can find me!”
“Nobody but me!”
“BOO!!!”
I get pounced on!
Smothered in boys kisses
“Oh no, too late!”
“That rascal
Johnny Little
Found me!”
I push him off
Giggling
Brushing off the dirt
From
My
Pretty little, flower dress
So
Mummy
Doesn't
Tell me off, again!
I run back home
As fast as I can!
The cool breeze
Against my face
Blowing
Through my leafy, blonde hair
Arriving home
Racing through
The screen door
Just in time
For dinner!
“Yum Mum!”
“I’m hungry!”

I loved playing hide and seek with the neighbourhood boys when I was younger. This poem was created when I was studying children's poetry. Hopefully, it inspires your own inner child to come out & play, once in a while :)
