Stopping on the w’ay to school to
write poetry is a bit unusual, but
when Frances Craven Parks, 11 years
old, feels the spirit of the muse upon
her she must get out pencil and paper
and Jot down its whisperings* t*> her.
Although still a young miss, Fran
ces 1s a poet of long experience. She
started back in her mud-pie days, ac
cording to her 80-year-old mammy.
But when she was a tot six years old
she displayed ability for the rhyming,
and ever since she has been develop
ing her talent.
When the good old vacation days
passed away this week it awoke the
muse again, and on her way to school
she framed the following: •
Well, vacation ends to-day.
And I’m sorry in a way—
To wake Just bout dawn
And hustle to school in a frosty morn—
Gee! I’m sorry in a way!
Go back to cold weather
And rainy days—
It's going to change things
In a thousand different ways—
Gee! I’m sorry in a way!
My vacation has been a happy one,
On the seashore and mountain run,
But hard study must stop this fun,
Say! I'm sorry in a way!
I’m sorry and I’m glad, too.
And to-morrow I will renew
Friendships with my schoolmates dear,
And here’s hoping it will be a happy
year.
Then I won’t be sorry in a way.
Little Frances Is a pupil in the
Crew Street School ana lives in the
Werner Apartments on Washington
street. She doesn’t know w’hy she
writes poetry unless it’s just In her
and just must come oui She likes to
play with other children, even if she
does delight to deftv^ in musty vol
umes of poetry with an intensity
which would open an old master’s
eyes.
