First one I wrote in my poetry workshop
Lagori
Seven different stones,
Some round, some flat
Piled up to make a fort.
I'm up first
The ball strikes
And as stones scatter,
So does my team.
Checked skirts sway
As we dodge the ball,
Trying to rebuild
What was smashed.
One,
Two,
The ball hits my shoe
'Out' yells my enemy
Another checked skirt
Gets down in the dirt
Piling stones meticulously
Five
Six
A wobbly seven
'Lagori, lagori, lagori!’
Seven different girls
Some round, some flat
Pile into their classroom
Smiles intact.
