Excellent Cube16 Poem NaPoWriMo 2021 : 3. Play by Debra White

Let's play a game of Hide and Seek. I'll count - I swear that I won't peek! Go hide real well, stay very still, try not to breathe; You know the drill! And when I call out 'Here I come!' Perhaps you'll freeze, perhaps you'll run right back to base before I spot your hiding place. 'Ready or not!'   Recognized Author Notes I have always loved this game! Hide-and-seek is an old and popular children's game in which one player closes his or her eyes for a brief period (often counting to 100) while the other players hide. The seeker then opens his eyes and tries to find the hiders; the first one found is the next seeker, and the last is the winner of the round. (britannica.com) I have always played the following variation of the game - When the seeker shouts out 'Ready or not' and begins to search, the hiders have the option to run back to base before the seeker spots them. If they are successful, they get to hide again in the next round. A Cube16 Poem (Created by Robert Zimmerman, a FanStory member) Consists of 4 stanzas (64 syllables/4 syllables per line).
