      December 20, 2014Mystery StoryFiona Lauradunn Woolf

      You’re sitting in Mrs. Cuftor’s house
      You’re drinking a glass of tea
      The unknown is the door behind you that leads to someplace mysterious
      And you’re wondering about the humming on the deck
      And the piano playing without fingers
      And the sound of typewriting
      You hear dark music from the mysterious door behind you
      You take the cup of tea away from your lips
      You stand up, and Mrs. Cuftor says
      Stay awhile …

      from 2014 RYPA

      Fiona Lauradunn Woolf (age 8)

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because it doesn’t have to make sense. And if you’re having something bad that is happening, you can write about it. And a poem can be almost anything. You could make it lyrics to a song, or you could make it words to a story. But the main reason I like to write poetry is because you’re putting your feelings on a blank piece of paper and you can express yourself however you want.”
