A Scribbled Page

I’m a page of the book of life Once pure and lure and white as white Oh! Now tinged with too many inks Still many are waiting to scribble a few. With puny hands some wrote me soft Some are harsh they tear my heart Supple hands draw labyrinth lines My prosaic precincts some plundered and pierced. Now the book is with a naughty child He tears the pages as he please One by one or bunches of many My weary long page will last in his jest. Contest Name : Non Human

Congratulations on your win Jenish We all start with a clean page, don't we? Are the drawings in the picture yours or one of your children? I loved the cricket and personification. Thank you...
