Once upon a time
there was a girl
who liked to write…
teachers exclaimed
over her talent
some of them
were scared
by her stories
so for a while
she wrote only
“nice” stories
and readers
found them
tiresome…
one day she
stopped writing
anything
disappeared
in winds of
dolorous March…
if you chance to see
snippet of words
rush by, scattered
amid leaves Autumn
left behind
don’t give them
second thought
they may be mere
lost spirit
of story she forgot…
