Sunlit Hopscotch
Chalk dust rising
Candy striped bedsheets
In a warm wind dancing
Sharpened lolly sticks
Rathbone duelling
Marbles in the gutter
No keepsies bickering
Goal post coats
Tin can dribbling
Farmer's in his den
All circled in a ring

Ma calls out, supper is done
We go in with the sleepy sun

Yours is truly lovely, an elegy to youth and love, and their names brought so many memories of my eldest brothers' treasured collection hence I looked this dusty one up and thought,  yup, though I was attempting minimal punctuation, it did need a couple of tweaks!

Bless you
