2002 - Fridge poetry

The magnetic poetry on our fridge in Finland back in the days several times started me off on things I wanted to say. The actual magnets were too limited in grammar and words, but I noted down the words that inspired me and later reshaped it and added to it on paper.

These days one of the things I wrote then is starting to echo in my mind again, so I thought I'd share this short one *gasp* !

I have no idea if it is any good. But here you go anyway.

A different girl
dreams;
of freedom
and safety.

A crazed woman
chooses:
to leave
and live.

A brave child
seeks
a home
and happiness.
