hennypenny Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 And this is the last one of her stored poems, so she is going to have to get writing new ones now:- The Old - written March 2006, by Polkie age 10 I've been bound so long to a justice, Roped so long to a tear, They say that life will come anew But new is what I fear A pressing demon haunts me A cage around my soul A prison of darkness, forever My heart is black as coal I've known the same for all my life And I'll be expecting more I'll walk the paths, the treads, the earth I've walked all before Afraid of changes, afraid of new So scared to be accepting you But the old will die, the young so fresh So I'll lay back and accept my death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoeshine Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 hennypenny, I am truly amazed now. I really and honestly never knew that Crayfish is related to you when I mentioned him in an earlier post in connection with Home Tuition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoeshine Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 This contribution breaks the age rules a bit......but I am blatantly pulling rank on this one. (Mantaspook, please delete it if you wish......I don't want to start a trend. ) The background to this piece is thus:- It was written by my grandaughter in late 2003, a year after I had two spells in hospital with heart problems, and only a few days after my brother (her Great Uncle) died following a heart attack. She wrote the text and accompanied it with a crayoned picure, A copy of the whole piece in illustrated form is shown on the link I have added below. HEARTS By Emily 18-11-03 Aged 7 Big hearts, little hearts All sorts of hearts Fat hearts, thin hearts Middle-sized hearts. Warm hearts, cold hearts Red hearts, pink hearts Blue hearts, purple hearts And silver hearts too. Fast hearts, slow hearts Tough hearts, soft hearts Good hearts, bad hearts Sad hearts, happy hearts. She was not aided in anyway. I know because she did the piece one evening whilst visiting our home. I think, under the circumstances you will realise how poignant it is to me personally.

HEARTS That was lovely, no wonder you treasure it, and the picture must have taken her ages, with so much love and care put into it - very touching. She must be really glad to have her grandma still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
