I have to go find a phote of Aotearoa to catch a visual glimpse of your beautiful Haiku, Harry. I can imagine it though as I know New Zealand is a vast land with lots of greenery. Have a good weekend. Love, Annalise

Harry, thanks for visiting my poems today and leaving your kind comments. I wish I had time this weekend to see more poems. but it's one of those times I can't be at soup very much. Also, my contest is going to have to just sit and wait as well!! Just wanted to let you know, if you don't hear from me in a while,i will be back soon!

I love this one honoring a place that I am sure you know very well, Harry. To answer your question:kickball is the poor kids' version of baseball. A ball is rolled to the home plate. YOu kick it and run bases like in baseball! Only a real loser is unable to kick a ball rolled to them. Much easier than hitting a ball with a bat!!
