About Me
- Catherine
- She tried hard to be like the others/she struggled to catch a ball/she never quite managed a cartwheel/after much practice she stood on her head./When she grew up she turned to science/she thought she would turn the world upside down/after a while she realised that the world had stayed in its proper place all along/and she was still standing on her head.

Hi, Catherine. What a compelling opening line "It should be huge." And the echo "It should fill the house..." very effective. You're setting yourself a high standard! - Greg =)
Very well done.
far too frequent and we're sadly jaded by and large -- here in America we have a system called Amber Alert that kicks in quite quickly if a child goes missing. Descriptions hit the broadcast news and the electronic reader boards along the highways -- but still its near epidemic...

Image & Verse
It gives me the shivers - as it's meant to do I'm sure - you describe what must be one of the most horrific things to happen to anybody very, very effectively. Powerful.
Exploding (or is it imploding!?) with emotion; great work - I love it!
powerful stuff.
(this could work for today's promp, too)
A strong image arises from this poem.
