Figures of Eight
#1
That's a tall girl,
lean and tan,
pretty as a picture.
#2
This kid's short,
pale but chubby,
and yes, pretty in her hazel eyes.
#3
This girl, with curly hair,
fair, pretty, lean.
Not very tall, not very small.
#4
This shy girl,
with milk coffee skin
and bright black eyes.
#5
This girl, with a moon of a face,
long chinese eyes,
smile lighting her face.
#6
Twin of #5,
looking nothing like her sister,
Darker, slimmer, and hyperactive at times.
#7
this tall girl,
thin hair in two tight plaits,
tries her best to play the clown.
#8
Enter her, small in size,
nerdy looks overpowering:
making her pretty smiles smart.
And except herself, without a reason,
bother about the figure of #8.
Are they jealous of her:
being 15, but too small for her age?
Or are they just bullying?
Either way, it's not their figure...
