Another #poetrytogo commission, aided and abetted in the last stretch by @MyriamWordmaker and @AnaisBokanovsky:
Lovely girl, you bring light,
A delight in the arc of limbs
Flinging themselves with precision
Across the sky.
Tu éclaires - avant le sommeil
Les mots dansent,
En pages et dans
Ton esprit pétillant.
Childhood's fripperies are
Giving way, inch by inch
Aux dictionnaires, et au sens pratique,
Activities amid the trees.
Mais, dans la forêt,
Et dans tes rêves,
Never forget - love
Colours everything, mon coeur.
Another Poetry To Go commission, this time for a seven-year-old child of French and English parents who is very active, practical, and creative.
