Who Shall I Be Today

A beautiful little princess wishes she were someone else
Perhaps a blue bird that sings or a black crow with a shrill                      
Or something soft with white whiskers, a long-tailed mouse!
From the balcony she watches the village children on the hill
As they run up, up, up, and then roll down, down, down 
They laugh and scream and sing merry songs and play 
The little princess sits alone, she wears butterfly wings and crown 
In an enormous castle with a tower, there she lives, far away
Who shall I be today is her most favorite made up game
In her own enchanted world, and with a grand imagination          
Ever so joyful day after day, where all remains the same
To be just as she is, pleased and abrim with gleeful elation

Jerry Brotherton Date: 12/15/2023 3:51:00 AM Beautifully written Anaya. I read it as a very sad tale of the downside of being a princess. Locked away in a cold and lonely castle with no one to play with. Thankfully, she has a great imagination. Best of luck in the competition, my friend. I think this is a sure winner. Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 12/15/2023 8:10:00 AM I like your spin on it. This isn't about a lonely princess, not at all. She's not stereotypical, spoiled either. She is quite content and never contrary. Some prefer solitude, it's their nature. Imagination overcomes. Thank you, Jerry!
