A house full of possibilities
Fighting the urge to make a noise
Competing over the best spots

Eight seconds
Making last changes on where to hide
Holding your hand over your mouth
to muffle your excitement

Five seconds
Trying to hold your breath
Closing your eyes
Wondering if your picked to best place

Two seconds
You can hear others failing at staying calm
Squeals from the younger escape their lips
Followed by "Shh" from the older kids

Then the dreaded...

"Ready or Not Here I Come"

Then the Moment of truth...Will you be found?

I love this poem. It reminds me of many times I played hide and seek as a child. Great job!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
