Hide And Seek Poem by Brie Carter

As the numbers count down
We scatter the ground
Searching for the best places to hide
Some dive beneath the kitchen table
Others huddle in dark corners
Pretending they aren't able
To be seen
I know better, I've played the game before
Running to the hallway closet
Peeking through the blinds on the door
The place where you can see but can't be seen
Are the places that will get you far
And as I watch the others being called out
I refuse to be found
I hold my breath and try not to breathe aloud
As for a moment I am undiscovered
A mystery to all
But I slip
And he looks me straight in the eye
Right through the blinds
And as the door opens wide
I am found once again
