Play With Me

"Play With Me" Come play with me and have some fun pick a card and choose a game Better still we'll play them all one by one The first card is the swing it tells us to close our eyes Imagine swinging high reaching the sky gliding slowly to feel the wind upon our face The second card a bottle of bubbles it tells us to gather the many wands Make as many shapes and sizes as we can and watch them gently waltz through air The third card a blank sheet with one crayon it tells us to think wisely before drawing for in this game there are no erasers We'll tell each other the meaning and why The fourth and final card says sleepover it tells us to invite one person or friend I choose and select you for this party of two so wear the jammies you like most and hold me close Now that we played each game and card the swing was exhilarating I'll admit the bubbles were a blast with much to see the blank sheet and crayon made its way through but nothing would be the same without my sleepover with you SkyWatcher - 03-23-17

You know what almost every reader is going to add at the end of your poem: "Can I come and play with you?" and that makes it all the more enticing . . . for a moment in time we are intricately linked to this magical world of yours that you spin effortlessly with your words. Lisa, you are my forever 7:) Amitiés

Oh Anne-Marie. Words can not express my appreciation for all your generosity not only here for this entry but for your continued support and graciousness. Saying thank you seems insignificant but Thank You. Honestly. I hope you enjoyed the entry and by all means come join the fun (ha ha). Have a wonderful night and I will turn to your page.

Can I come for a sleepover and games with you Lisa? This sounds just SO wonderful! Those cards you use are a diferent kind of magic than the very serious cards adults play with. Let's be kids together :)
