Explanation:
‘Hide and Seek’ by Vernon Scannell is a free verse poem that explores the major theme of irresponsibility or negligence. Just as the title of the poem implies, the poem is about the infamous game of hide and seek that every child has countless memories of playing. In this poem, Vernon tells the story of a child who starts playing the game of hide and seek with great enthusiasm and excitement. However, as the story plays out we learn that he played the game a little too long and missed out on the opportunity of ending the game with his friends; resulting in being left completely alone in the end. This simple game can easily be a metaphor for a person who hides away from people and friends in great energy and childishness, and when he finally decides he is ready to be in their company and be of any use or benefit to them, they are no longer there. They are no longer waiting for him and no longer seeking him.
