Image result for sad little girl in an attic

As a girl, I spent time in my Grandma's attic, it smelled like old wood and was quite aromatic. I loved this space to the point of a fanatic, loving to rummage in things aristocratic. Old trunks and pictures of ancestors dramatic! "Are you okay?" I answered, "YES!" quite emphatic. A knock at the door (oh, do be diplomatic!) I answered in my sweetest voice, charismatic. See, I was a little girl melodramatic, my young life so sad and so very traumatic. In silence, I wrote some stories quite climatic, I was healing- but my thoughts were still erratic. _______________________ January 12, 2017 Poetry/Monorhyme/Quite Lost Copyright Protected, ID 17-865-472-0 All Rights Reserved.

Great poetry! Can picture this in my mind's eye. Felt the emotion in the last stanza. Congratulations BW! :-)
