Play Running?!

Poem of the Day

I’ve been playing around with this poem for over a month now. I took a break from it for a few days and almost forgot about it until I recently read The Half Marathoner Newsletter here on Substack. Thank you Terrell for giving me the push I needed to finish the poem and ship it.

Here it is. Enjoy your day and I hope you find some time to play!

What do you play?

Poem of the Day:

       Play Running  

What do you play? 
I play running  

I don’t hear that
Do you? 
It would be cool
To hear-
I play running too.  

Running is play
This is why 
How many birds can you find in the sky 
Leap over rocks 
Chase a fox- 
Beats staying inside 
A box 

Trees all around 
Glorious fresh air 
Adventure awaits
You can go anywhere    
Bound uphills
Soar back down
Feet flying off the ground   

No rules, no whistles
Wide-open space 
To play, run 
A smile on my face 

I play running 
Everyday- 
It’s fun to have some buddies 
Along the way
  
     -What do you say? 

We play Running…(Felicia we need a Spring picture, HA!)
