Today’s prompt is a pen portrait. But I also decided to use the Magic 9 form from yesterday to challenge myself to use formal rhyme scheme,which I often resist. So today is an actual nine-liner.
Sister
Nearly a decade ahead
Head start and headstrong
Science projects, hours’ long piano practice, well-read
Latin homework spread upon her green desk
Portable Remington typewriter, paper threaded
Poems typed, sent to Breadloaf and beyond
Venturing towards goals and godhead
Showing me how woman can belong
Sojourning Smith
