Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

A Day To Play

A

Day to
Abandon 
Your cares; a day

To run out in an
Open field; a day to

Play! Go where you want. Take a
Liesurely walk or visit an
Amusement park; see a show; take with
You someone you love. Put your work away!

Aug. 15, 2019 for Sheri Fresonke Harper's Invitation to Play Poetry Contest

I played with two forms together: Acrostic and etheree, dividing the form into stanzas to break up each word in the titled phrase: A Day to Play. Also tried to get in a little rhyming!
