no one ever played

A slightly different version of this (which I'll post in a little while) was published in A Hundred Gourds.

i like both versions but lean slightly toward the published one...; 9:43 AM
Bill said...: Thanks, Adelaide, Daniele, and polona. Please take a look at "my maiden aunt." As I say at that post, I have a comment to make after I give you a chance to make yours.; 10:52 AM
Iris said...: Hi Bill
for me this is nostalgic haiku, I prefer this version.
Best regards
