Popping up above the bark of a tree
a little voice that is a little louder than me
a little girl thinking of worlds containing elves with pointy ears
A big world in a little mind
a little mind that might be a little bit bigger than mine
if she’s already pondering lore that has her plotting out the woods in the backyard
how soon before the races overtake the neighbor’s estate?
She’s making outfits
putting on makeup to play make believe in worlds you have to write
maybe someday all that frizzy hair, play, and maps
may transform the imagination of this little sprite into a creator of worlds
