Hide and Seek

...5...
They scatter in
every direction,
trying to evade my 
watchful eye.
...4...
They disappear
from view,
looking for a clever
place to hide.
...3...
I close my eyes
and listen hard,
picking up
some helpful tips.
...2...
I already know
which way I'll go,
and a crooked smile 
crosses my lips.
...1...

Ready or not,
Here 
I 
Come.

A nicely written poem about a childhood game. It brought back personal memories of long ago.
