Premium MemberWhite Whimsical Poem

Write me a white whimsical poem 
With fairies unicorns and wizards 
May all the men be kind and strong
And the grandmas never cook gizzards

And the children always play outside
Doors of the houses are never locked
Games aren’t on phones computerized
With joy playing ball and hopscotch 

No war crimes and no school shooter 
We all smile in

Backyard Hopscotch is my thing, my favorite backyard game,
And today I was inducted in the BH hall of fame,
Nobody else is quite as good as me I tell myself,
As I grab my chalk and hopscotch rocks from off the hopscotch shelf.
I draw squares on the ground and throw a stone to number two
Then hop from

As young kids,
we loved playing hopscotch.
Taking turns we would put big boxes on the sidewalk, 
then jump from box to box for hours.
One day we took a can of spray paint,
now we have a Backyard Hopscotch.
The grass boxes look great in red,
it now matches dad's face.

Backyard Hopscotch

Backyard hopscotch
One, two, three
Pick up the coloured stone
Hop to one knee
Toss up the speckled rock
Four, Five, six
Twist on the vibrant chalk
And cast another mix

I once tried hopscotch in reverse,
Backwards it went from bad to worse.
My hop was scotched,
My stone was botched,
I fell head over heels adverse!

I saw God, so ... now what?

I wait,
standing in line 
at the grand Hopscotch Game

holding the stone in my hand

Premium MemberHopscotch Innocence

There are children, O so sweet,
Playing hopscotch in the street,
Figures of worth and substance,
Priceless gems of innocence.

Playing is their daytime work,
Chores they must not ever shirk,
Reads to build literacy,
Studies that steer legacy.

Should be sheltered from fear,
That causes bad nightmares so drear,
Little minds struggling hard to find,
Resolves to doubts  in their minds.

Pressures amongst their age

Hopscotch

I paid the price for my mistakes, you don't know how much it cost
I may have scars, wounds, bruises and bloody clothes 
But i made it through the Muddy roads 
And I won because just Like in Hopscotch l was thinking outside of the box

I've been knocked down many times, but I got up each

Hopscotch With Some Scotch

"HOPSCOTCH WITH SOME SCOTCH"


there are times 
when I wonder about 
everything that has 
happened, everything that has 
put me inside 
my current location in 
life. when they 
gave me air only 
to drown me, 
when the claws ripped 
my life apart, 
when the dirt was 
thrown over my 
casket with the lid 
open, everything seemed

Hippos Playing Hopscotch

Ghostly giblets granting grinning gibbons grapefruit. But grapes were busy running down the road. Away they shouted away away. And at great speed they went down the roads. Escaping the giblets who cried out in anger at the escapees. The gibbons would not be grinning if they had no grapes for breakfast. And breakfast brought

Playing hopscotch is my favorite game
To play outside with my friends
We jump, we hop, we toss our rock 
Until 
     one of us wins!

Hopscotch

Taking a short cut down an alley, I saw a gleam of sunshine,
It had dried the pavements so children could chalk hopscotch,
Small children to much older children all joined in together,
Throwing their stones into the right boxes so they could play.

How sweet it was to hear such happy laughter see bright cheeks,
The freshness of true
