Where it all began

This is the first poem I ever wrote, I was 8.

She cried as she looked into the midnight sky

She knew at that moment that she must die

So she lay down her life for the one she loved most

And at that moment became but a ghost

Her skin began to pale and her hair faded white

She watched him from above each day and each night.

Author's Note

Alright, So this was the first poem I ever wrote as a little girl, I was about 8. I remember I was so insecure about my writing back then that I would write them, memorize them, and tear them up so one would read them. I still remember it to this day.

This obviously isn't one of my better works but I thought I might share a glimpse of where all this began

Very dark and cold, Edgar Allan Poe like poetry...which I absolutely love. It also has a surreal touch to it, and I also love that. I never started writing until I was 12, which were stories. Then about three years later I started to get into poetry. You were beyond your years. Thanks for sharing.

Edgar Allan Poe was someone I was compared to consistently by the select few I let read my writing. Which I don't mind, He is my hero. Thank you so very much Newyorker!

Wow to be 8 and feel that. It was a solid write spoken from within. I felt death speaking within the voice.

it's very hard to believe that this poem has been written by a 8 year old child, you must have been like Sherlock Holmes among fellow students.
