Constance La France Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

And Yet

 
When I was a young school girl,
I would walk along reading a book;
and occasionally my feet would trip,
so, I would read in a quiet secret nook.

Of course, this made me a target,
and occasionally bullies liked to seek me out;
those were days I will never forget ever,
yet, would I have become this writer- without?
