Day-7
NaPoWriMo-2026
Prompt: In her poem, “Front Yard Rhyme,” Cecily Parks evokes the sing-songy beats that accompany girls’ clapping games, and jump-rope and skipping rhymes. Today, we challenge you to write your own poem that emulates these songs – something to snap, clap, and jump around to.
Holidays!
Clear skies
Neighbourhood's kids
Ready to take the bite
All gather in the bylanes
The boys with cricket bats
Some boys on the bicycles
The lovely pigtailed girls
Just below my balcony plays
Hide and seek
Here they go...
Selecting the chaser
"Aah Mina, aah Mina (Chorus)
Kaccha mina, kaccha mina(claps)
Sing a song
Ding a dong (claps)
Carrom board
Barram board
STOP!
I watch them with
A raptured smile
Blessed childhood.
And I sing!
Eina mina myna moe
Catch the bad boy by his toes
If he cries, let him go
Eina mina myna moe.
