Weekly Photo Challenge : “Mine” – Through the eyes of an eight year old!

2 Oct

The photo challenge this week is ‘Mine’. ‘Mine’ as in belonging to ME, not ‘mine’ like ‘land mine’! Thankfully! cause god alone knows what I would have written for that!!! :) Though the term ‘mine ‘ itself is a landmine of sorts! Riddled with all kind of traps and fuses that threaten to destroy those who dare to tread on it carelessly!

Instead of the stuff I write usually,  ‘dark and sentimental’. For this challenge, I decided to post a poem written by my daughter – Mishthi . She wrote it this Sunday for a class assignment. Mishthi is eight years old, studies in third grade and is in love with words. The poem symbolizes  ‘ mine’ . But in an innocent way! A way that only a child can use the term. Hope you enjoy it :)

My Book

There is a book I have
With tales so ‘fab’
A princess locked in a tower
A man with such power
That mountains shake
Each time a breath he takes
I read it every night
At quarter to nine
And after I fall asleep
I dream of the stories I read
Of  Kings and queens I met
While lying
with my book in my bed

Mishthi Goel

III C

That she loves her book is quite evident! I am not sure how the teacher will like the poem. But I am definitely proud of these children of ‘MINE’

Mishthi with her Brother – A few years back!

    Mishthi is no doubt following your footsteps.
    If at 8 she writes this, I can imagine how well she will write at 18. :)

      zinal, I never wrote anything much at 8. So not my footsteps definitely :) :) !!! I hope she continues to write. right now she is just testing her wings! who knows for how long her interest may hold. But I do hope what you say comes true :)

    wow. sweet poem. She sure is good with words. Just eight years and she has written superbly.
    I am sure you are proud of her – and her poem is the most fitting for the mine challenge :)
    Not the mine mine :) I also got the same explosive mine in my mind when I saw the theme

    If her teacher doesn’t like the poem a discussion must be had about discernment. Personally, I loved it and I am very discerning.

      Valentine, her teacher loved it! She’s got an A+ and is having a ‘proud peacock moment’ right now! Thanks for your belief in her talent:)
