Rondel   The Game of Cricket   Out on the playground on a summer's day The school boys commenced a game of cricket They had two strong sides, watching for wickets, Each committed to superior play The umpires finally found a way To stop rowdies hiding in the thicket Out on the playground on a summer's day The school boys commenced a game of cricket Enthusiasm ran high throughout play Screams of joy followed the fall of wickets Hearts and souls were in that game of cricket Sadly the losers frittered the game away Out on the playground on a summer's day *Rondel     Free Verse   A Grey Hair   A grey hair on my head no way I am far too young to have one There must be some mistake I am sure your eyes deceive you It is most probably one of yours After all you are a few years older You have been around longer It just has to be from your head And so the argument continued As two crazy women fought aloud Oblivious of the fact that they Were arguing at a public bus stand And watched by an amused crowd     "heart(s) Haiku Thread Let US Pray: Free Verse: A Prayer
