Easy catch, really.
Reel me in with
A scrabble board
On a table
On a shady
Porch in summer
Or anytime
Anywhere on
Line or right here
A bingo pot
Refreshments or
Bait—no matter—
I’ll bite.
I’ll bite.

Cool, Susan........yes, the thirst for words, it never gets old...........love the idea of a board set up on a shady porch in summer........wish I lived closer!
ReplyDeleteha. i am a sucker for games. i love t play them. get friends together and we can talk for hours playing games....
ReplyDeletehope your trip is going well...
Maybe we ought to have a game of chess on line one day? or backgammon? As long as it isn't bridge, I'm game for anything :-)
ReplyDeleteThe shady porch sounds sublime. As long as it is not too hot out there.
We've been warned to stay indoors in the UK today and tomorrow: smog from the continent over this country.
A day for games and writing poetry, clearly.
Thanks for the Fool's idea. I enjoyed scribbling around that.
Puzzles are very satisfying..especially when they can sort things out in your head..as neatly as those tiles..an original look at what it means to be a fool for something..and a great prompt to start off our puzzles this week!
ReplyDeleteI love the way this moves. Very cool, Susan.
ReplyDeleteI am just the same, but I never would have thought to put it into words like this! Made me smile! Great!
ReplyDeleteSo good idea of playing words, love for tiles...It can become the mindful practice with the soul channelling the messages...
ReplyDeleteScrabble always frustrate me, i can never get the right words, unlike your poem, Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOh, such scrabble/word games can be a real challenge no matter how old you are! Very interesting poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the interesting prompt, Susan. I enjoyed scribbling around the 'Fool' prompt. Smiles..
give me a game and I'm in.
ReplyDeletefun and foolish thanks Susan
Your poem reminded me that it has been waaay too long since I have played Scrabble. I played a lot of it for a while & really enjoyed it. I understand being a 'fool for tiles' indeed.
ReplyDeleteI am also a fool for any and all word games -- scrabble, boggle, you name it!!
ReplyDeleteAha! A game-player... competitor. I, too, love scrabble.
ReplyDeleteCount me in, I am a sucker for games too ~ Have a good week Susan ~
ReplyDeletewonderful appealing and attractive, I am a fool for Scrabble and would love to play with you...perhaps on facebook some day -word origins study is a favorite pastime -enjoyed the poem
ReplyDelete...I like poetry games because you can play them on your own. Although I love collaborative poetry...maybe you could consider that for a prompt...provide some lines and we can fill in the blanks:)
ReplyDeleteOh, bother - now I want summer to come even more! ;) Sweet little poem!
ReplyDeletei love word games....the lotto cards are particularly sinful! lol...great write!
