“Age Nine” (Taken from my secret blog.)
Web-Page One
I am Sophie Lucy Morgan. I am nearly ten. I kept a blog of my thoughts and my poems, and mummy is trying with her best spelling and grammer. And she checks every spelling she finds though if I can’t spell a word at all, if the word looks silly to me then I always put a shorter word in, one I think I can spell (or mummy can!)
It was when I was nine that Mummy got my secret blog, at first it was not secret but I got an eMail from a man who said I was sexy (I put my picture in the blog, you won’t get it here!) I really am called Sophie Lucy. I have those two names and “Morgan”. No one will read this except by invite, so if you are reading this is cos Mummy trusts you.
I try to be a good girl, I go to church. I try and understand other people, I cry at cruelity I don’t do dirty things like Jane, she is ten and the whole school thinks she’s having it off with her sister’s boyfriend.
I shall put poems into this book, a book not really for you, but for me, to inspire me to be a better poet, a better lady.

Because Mummy tries to make it in good English, people will say I have not wrote this nor the poems cos Mummy trys and make them smile, I don’t care, I can share my words with Mummy, she taught me most of them didn’t you? Words like (deleted word!).
Here is a poem not corrected in spelling and grammer like Mummy, she keeps the originals in case one day people prefer my last draft.
MUMMY AND THE BARNARNA.
on my barnarna
Mummy wrut
Knot to ferget to brring
My PE kit home
With “PS I love you!”
I ket the barnarna skin
Huntil it went all blaikc…
Then I cried.

Mummy said I was a dreadful child, who used to have tantums (or as I called them “tam-tums”). But now I hope I am better. I am an Alter girl, and Father McIleney is a good male model for me (I like to think he is my true father, that makes Mummy laugh so I play up to it), but really I am just a creep. I like to be important, I want to be a real writer one day. Mummy also wants me to, so I play my role as a different person to different people. Mummy says that is important, to always understand others. I mean no one any harm and as no one will EVER want to read this (deleted word!).
MUMMY, people are grown up, we use that word to the teacher sometimes and she uses the word back and says another rude way and we will will laugh and teacher will be sorry she taught us another rude word we in fact already know.
“Don’t report me boys and girls.” But she don’t get me. Read the poem I wrote and read in class.
LITTLE ANGELS.
I like the rain.
I call the raindrops
“Little Angels”.
I see them
As angels falling on us
To make us know
That they exist
Watching over us
Inside water.

Teacher called the above poem “silly” said rain is just water just like you drink in the tap and just like you (deleted word) out!
Later I will write about my Daddy but kind lady Tiffy Witherington wrote one about her own daughter when they were both younger. I see my daddy there. More later.
“Doesn’t Daddy Love Me anymore?”
______________________________________
After two hours at the window,
Her coat on, her bag ready…
She had looked at me and said
“Doesn’t daddy love me any more?”
I took her to town
And she saw you there
In a strange car
With a strange woman.
She never mentioned you again
Until today
When you came for her
And she was not in.

Sophie Lucy Morgan is quite an interesting young lady, isn’t she? Perhaps she should let us read more of her private stuff.
terry

i love lucys heart
and these poems

I know I’d love to read more of Sophie’s work. Though … I wonder what is in that secret blog …
you slip so easily into different personalities and perspectives it is something I am not sure I could ever be gifted with…thanks for showing me that…
very nicely done.

(I wrote a comment and it did not submit so if the first one comes around well then you will have two from me)
I liked all three, or four of these.
be well. Stay warm
Sophie’s such a lovely name. <3
And Sophie’s awesome.
Sophie’s maturity is quite much for her age, don’t you think? I like reading her thoughts.
This is so awesome … touching, and there’s some humor in it too. I like this character – she should make more appearances on your Blog if you don’t mind … I would like to know more about her and what she writes.
Thanks for the comment. RYC : I’m sorry if you think I have somewhat used “deja vu” in the wrong sense, but I had meant it like the way you described it, like she was going through what she had in the dream, the feeling all too familar.
Well you have a good week ahead anyway ..
I LOVE Sophie!! Maybe it is because she is so easy to understand, yet deep in many ways. I can relate to her. Hmmmm–what does that say about me?? I’m a 63 yr. old with a 9 yr. old mind????? It is really hard to think that Sophie and the Sarahs come from the same mind!! Amazing!
In Tiffy’s poem, the younger daughter is driving the mother to the town? My daughters, almost through their teen years still need me to ferry them around. I’ve been reading your posts but just have not had time to comment very much. I hope your 2005 will be blessed, Lord Pineapple!
u are such a rarely imaginative person, Terry. You astound me. You don’t allow fear to keep back these things and I admire that very much. I always seem to make excuses so that I don’t have to complete my writing projects. This is very good. It’s layered. I loved it!
Age nine can write in a very amazing way. I wonder if will better to let her grow up or keep her aged nine.I think I would prefer the last.
the past few months have claimed all of my words. with super super busy times at the lab, and the new home and other things as well, i cannot seem to find the poetry i once had. it is quite frustrating. any suggestions? believe me i wish i could have some new stuff. writers block def exists, but this…..this has been months of struggling for anything.

Nice way of writing… enjoy reading it.. nice nice..
expecting more from you next year
RYC: Right on, Lord Pineapple- we created God, of that I have no doubt. And I’m not a Christian… trying to reword a little in my poetic prose to open out the concept of “angels” which exist in every tradition historically and world-wide. Sigh. Hugz to you. xo
Ah, Terry, I so wish I had the ability to tell you lyrically what this blog means to me!! Do not ever again apologize for taking time to write.
From my heart,
Bev
Even a poor French understood and loved the first poem , the not corrected one . Well done . And about ” little angels ” , I can say adults understand nothing if they have not kept their child soul .
In friendship Michel
Your writing is excellent. I love how you can become those you are writing. I wish I was better at doing that, in my writing anyway, for you are amazing. Keep up the good work. Oh, and because of the picture in my background, none of the font colors show up as good as red. Later………….
How brilliant is Sophie!?! ‘She’ says more in a few lines than do some pretentious adults.
Teachers that call children’s writing silly should be fired. All kids’ writing and creativity should be encouraged. (Well…most anyway…)
Have a Happy New Year!
This is wonderfully charming, Terry…
And of course Tiff hits it right on the head…
Peace and Love…GFW
Then you’d be utterly sad to know that I then took her to a party of weapons in which she was mine….legs of plastic dolls are dangerous…let me tell you.
Yes, yes, poor dollie…
About Sophie Lucy…..I love that….you really got her into your mind….or maybe she crawled inside yours….
Thats what I love about kids they keep it simple, life would be so much easier sometimes if we could all just slip back in our heads to those days when things were just what they were, and laughter was a valued feeling….Thanks………
ryc: some people have it so nice, enjoy ur week off…………………… Happy New Year too.
Hi there. Thanks for breezing by my site. It is always nice to meet a new xanger. Your kind words made me feel great about my Assembly Line entry. I have soooo many more stories to tell about working in the big auto maufacturing site. You wouldn’t believe the stuff I see!
Anyway, nice to meet you LordPineapple
So multi talenmted. Always like the way you interchange so easily.
Hehe Hi again!
I always marvel at how you organize and represent all your characters. You have a great understanding of different personalities.
Thanks for your comment in my site. I was glad to hear from you again!
Take care and have a VERY happy new year
I love little Sophie
remember to some of us she is more than real
I feel so lucky to have read this today for I
can go to sleep smiling that I read my fav.poet
((((HUGS))))

This is brilliant. I feel like I know her!
Very observant kid.
I’ll visit more if you’ll visit more.
Charming, will Sophie grow up?? continue pleeaaase. RITA
Thank you for the compliment. A prosperous new year to you.
… your writing is always just powerful and wonderful to read … i enjoy it immensely … the poem you posted here, “Doesn’t Daddy Love Me Anymore” … it really hit me … it made me think of my daughter, and her father … she hasn’t seen him since Easter last … and it … effected me personally … the others are wonderful, also, and the poem about Angels in Raindrops … i loved that one … thank you for posting, hon …
~ the angel
Yay! More weird poems! I can never get enough of those.
so let me guess, its raining coconuts and pineapples by you whereas here it is raining geese poop slush bombs.
well i did go outside to the snow today though i couldnt walk on the lake (hence the flocks of geese, mallards, ducks, swans….).
… i wonder if there is a barnarna in some faroff language and what it would mean
well off to a pointless search, the suburbs are histerically dreary………

im sorry it was hard to read my last post….mauve on black…..some ppl have colored text to match thier background picture…i have to get out the magnifying glass on those…..i hope you health is improving and you are doing well….Sophie is delightful and well brought up by her mum:) Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year my dear Sir Lord….may it be full of good things…and more of your gifted writing!
thanks for your encouragement in my child rant

ryc: I think your haiku moments are excellent, sad but excellent. You just don’t happen to conform to the 5-7-5 of the Western haiku. But you say with economy and feeling what needs said.
and when i have the time…you amaze me still…hope all is well in your part of this small world…happy new year from a silent me…
Yes, the lovely creature is my daughter. Her grandma gave her a nice hair cut… (hair shaved off) so she looks like a boy.
Brilliant! I started reading and couldn’t stop. Nine-year-old eyes see so much more than I realized until I read your work here and thought about it. Pre-pre-adolescence. Awkward and innocent. Chocolate does sing to us doesn’t it? It takes a child’s ears to point that out though. Many cheers to you in 2005.
Yes, I know that, but never has it been this close. Nearly all the prophecies have been fulfilled. Next the Pope will die and the AntiChrist will assume the leadership position of the world. There are too many signs. I believe it, and I don’t care if you think I’m loopy.
I do!
My children’s dad did that to them….yuppers, got that picture of the kids “forever waiting” for the dad who never shows up for them. He moved from Virginia to Oregon (snuck out of the state and didn’t pay child support for 3 1/2 months) and better stay gone, let me tell you….
Hugs.
