A beautiful little princess wishes she were someone else Perhaps a blue bird that sings or a black crow with a shrill Or something soft with white whiskers, a long-tailed mouse! From the balcony she watches the village children on the hill As they run up, up, up, and then roll down, down, down They laugh and scream and sing merry songs and play The little princess sits alone, she wears butterfly wings and crown In an enormous castle with a tower, there she lives, far away Who shall I be today is her most favorite made up game In her own enchanted world, and with a grand imagination Ever so joyful day after day, where all remains the same To be just as she is, pleased and abrim with gleeful elation

Beautifully written Anaya. I read it as a very sad tale of the downside of being a princess. Locked away in a cold and lonely castle with no one to play with. Thankfully, she has a great imagination. Best of luck in the competition, my friend. I think this is a sure winner.

I like your spin on it. This isn't about a lonely princess, not at all. She's not stereotypical, spoiled either. She is quite content and never contrary. Some prefer solitude, it's their nature. Imagination overcomes. Thank you, Jerry!
