I'll hide and you come find me
we'll play a friendly game,
you'll close your eyes and count to ten
I'll find a hiding place to claim.

I'll hide in the closet or up a tree,
in the last place that comes to mind,
it has to be some place amazing,
a place that you'll never find.

You'll search for me under every bed,
peeking behind every tree,
until smiling i laugh and say
you've found me.

This was pretty good! And I agree, it does remind you of being a kid.

Hey there! I really enjoyed this poem. It is relatable for I'd say basically everyone. It's simple, but it can bring back old memories, and that's what really draws the reader in. This was very frolicsome and I loved the liveliness to it! Good job!
