February 12 – Hide and Seek
A children’s game
Complicated by adults
Counting to ten before choosing
To reveal or conceal
Secrets and lies
Hopes and dreams
Sometimes hiding from without
Sometimes seeking from within
An adult’s game
Simplified by children
Running “Home” to safety

Like this one mate. Am envious of your conceptual ability here
I am not surprised at all that Adam has hit the ground running with this poetry challenge, given the beautiful, profound writing and messages in his short fiction.
“Sometimes hiding from without
Sometimes seeking from within”
Are my favourite lines… because I know this is often my experience of depression – of hiding from beyond and trying to make sense form within.
Though as I said in the FB I can’t help put cast a Piper’s Reach filter over this… and I know I should not do that (because I’ve said before of my own stuff – that I am not writing through Ella-Louise’s eyes!) … though perhaps before this month is out I will write a dedicated Piper’s poem!
Day after day you keep blowing me away with these- so impressed.
