I hope the challenge has been giving you plenty to write so far. I can’t believe I’m already 6 poems deep into April (and today’s poem is probably my favorite up to this point).
For today’s prompt, write a hiding poem. You could be hiding. Someone else could be hiding. Something could be hidden. Or maybe there could even be a hidden meaning. I’m flexible with any interpretations poets want to put on the prompt. Have at it.
Playing hide and seek
with the little one we would count
one to twenty
slowly, knowing that was way too much time
feeling her, right near
And then we would look,
"Where could she be?"
And from next to the pillar
next to us
right away she would call out,
"Here I am!"
It's what I want to do.
Say that, stay near, be found.
But I am so well hidden
so cleverly blended in
and quiet, quiet
I don't even know
if anyone is still looking for me.
