A great reminder of a popular childhood game. This Cube16 poem is well composed and recreates the game's rules in a very creative manner. The artwork you paired with the poem fits perfectly.

This is a nicely written cube 16 poem. Very well written. I remember playing hide and seek as a child. My children played it and now the grandkids. Nice children's poem. great photo to go with your words as well ð???

loved the game as well, especially in a new home your visiting. lol
nice style. great rhymes, but noticed a small error in last verse. Going with the abcb rhyming scheme, you should change base to home (or equivalent) to stay true.

    Hi Lulube :)
    Thanks for the feedback. You're right! I didn't even notice I'd slipped into an abab rhyme scheme LOL
    Thanks for the nod!
    Best wishes, Debra

    Hi Dolly :) Thank you for your feedback! I thought the same thing myself about the last line, but I thought I'd turn a blind eye!
    Thank you for the nod, though, I appreciate it :) Best wishes as always, Debra

Z's Cube is the perfect form choice for this delightful poem. Hide and Seek was a fun game for sure, and of course no one peeked, yes? Perfect rhyme and metre and just the thing for we forever children at heart.

A fine entry into your NaPo project, Debra. :))

I enjoyed your fun cube16 for the club, Debra. Your lines read smooth and at a quickened pace. You did a great job recounting the rules of the game. We always played it like you mentioned in your notes about running back to base. Your picture is perfect for your well-composed poem. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Charming--print this up in color for the kiddies--perhaps they'll be tempted to play outdoors for a change rather than on their iphones. Evocative of the old days!

Hello, Debra,

Congratulations with keeping up with the NaPoWriMo 2021 challenge. I loved the hide and seek game when I was little. You followed the cube 16 rules well, as far as I can tell. Well done!

This is just the perfect poem to describe a children's game. The peppy short lines build up excitement. It's a game known and played all around the world.

Lets play a game (Let's) for the contraction
