Poems from Elle's perspective

Caitlin

                                       Captured sunlight ripples through her hair,
                                       adding hues of caramel, honey and gold.
                                       Innocence, accented by dimples.
                                       Twitching with barely contained enthusiasm,
                                       liable to explode in a torrent of chatter.
                                       Intelligent, sweet and creative,
                                       nothing will hold her back.
