Writers, poets and authors,

Help this young girl of 16 to master her writing skills. She is childish in words and childlike in thoughts.  She is yet to grow out of rhymes and understand grimes. She writes about herself thus……

Blue spots in white

Dressed for the night

On the stage she runs

Lights flicker in turns

Sings ‘Little boy blue’

Hears applause new

Wears gowns in yellow

Knows not how to bellow

Studies lessons of books

Stays away from the crooks

Her eyes roll wide and far

For ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’

Walks her life with time

Tries to reason every rhyme

‘Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall’

She sits alone before a waterfall

Decides to write her feeling

Finds her outpours healing

Like the mother of ‘Three little kittens’

She wants her words to glisten

Alas! She sees them with a blot

Wonder how to gain a spot

To become a writer of bright

Does she need to swallow light?

 


[Through her eyes...]
