Play

We're now challenged to write a poem which prominently features the idea of play. This could become quite nostalgic...

I used to play

I used to play

outside,

inside,

under beds,

in blanket tents

Where a whole new world

came to life

before me –

We were mermaids,

and we visited talking animals

who lived in postboxes 

and hollow trees

Where anything –

everything –

was possible

and innocent feet

tread lightly

to catch fairies
