The theme for National Poetry Day is based on Games, so this poem that was written in collaboration with my grandson, last year, is my contribution.  

The poem was one of three published in the anthology: Shambelurkling and Other Stories to raise funds for the National Autisitic Society.  Since then, my elder daughter, Nikki, has completed: The Great North Run for the same charity.
