      February 14, 2014Bearer of the LightAriane Branigan

      Oh, bearer of the light,
      Bringer of change.
      Illuminate the darkest crevices,
      Reveal the deepest depths.
      Graceful, serene, deadly.
      A gliding contradiction.
      Slicing through the blackest waters,
      Elegant, beautiful, lethal.
      A shimmering murderer.
      Oh, bearer of the light, swim on.

      from 2014 RYPA

      Ariane Branigan (age 13)

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I enjoy writing poetry because it’s very versatile, and open to interpretation. There are no rules, no guidelines, no limitations. It has introduced me to other writers of my age who I identify strongly with, and who have helped me become more confident in my writing.”
