A Trois-par-Huit poem for 13th WDC birthday poetry contest

At thirteen,
her poems lay unseen,
No one to find the small secret book.

While angels in her ear whispering like a brook,
under the sheets she hid to write, that little crook.

Years later, to the warm home she came
found meaning in her name -
Kindled flame.




Written for "Invalid Item
Prompt: 1st September: thirteen, write, find
