Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is "to write a poem that prominently features the idea of play. It could be a poem about a sport or game, a poem about people who play (or are playing a game), or even a poem in the form of the rules for a sport or game that you’ve just made up (sort of like Calvinball)." (http://www.napowrimo.net/) Playing Catch He catches my kiss on the palm of his hand
one on his gumdrop nose one on his neck, thrown back laughing one on his elf-point ear one in the curve of his toes He catches my eye all the time once in his awe at the snow once with a goodnight fish-kiss once laughing, in full-body wave once squinting at his own sunshine once marveling at his finger's point He's ten for ten in this game we both win the game I could play all my days.

I love the wonder and the joy and the love and the magic of this poem. I love the picture in my mind when I read it because I've been fortunate enough to see it in real life. God is good. Comments are closed.
