Avalanche Blanche

She stood on the jetty
Salt water in her eye,
The past said ‘hello’
The future; ‘goodbye’.

Hundreds and thousands,
The colour of snow,
Seeds of bad bullying,
No time could un-sow.

Teased for some dandruff,
Never given a chance,
Named, jibed and called,
Forever, ‘Avalanche Blanche’.
