Bingo Fill: Solo Game Night

This poem fills the "Solo Game Night" square on my 5x5 Mixed Card for the Valentine's Bingo Fest.

Game On

Being alone doesn't mean you can't have fun.
On the shelf a collection has begun
of games for one or more.

Some are designed for solo play,
others have modified rules, best with more players but serviceable for one,
yet others that say two or more but can be creatively tweaked to suit needs.

The night is yours,
hearty snacks and comfy clothes,
and the favourites set out, ready to play.

It might be just you tonight,
but everything is set for a night of kickass fun,
victory not over another but beating the game as best you can,
enjoying the challenge of improving each time.

Bingo Fill: Praise

This poem fills the "Praise" square on my 5x5 Mixed Card for the Valentine's fest.

Recognition

A kind word here or there,
acknowledgement for a job well done,
or for just being good;

such little things that seem
inconsequential at first
but can make a world of difference,
both in their presence and in their absence.

So the next time you see something good,
take the time to say so.
You never know when that praise
will make someone's day.
