 The Mistress of Word Play

Last One Standing


Last one standing, the leader cries........








Last




“Last one standing
wins the prize.
Here we go,”
the leader cries.

One team pitted
against the other
pressing ever closer
to one another.

Childhood games
warm summer's day
all the neighborhood
hard at play.

Laughter and giggles
they do abound
like the tinkling of glass
a pleasant sound.

Echoes of days
which used to be.
A familiar cry
of come play with me.
