A Crown of A Thousand Stars

-

There was a child
She who dreamed of wonders
Eyes filled with light
Wishing upon a thousand stars
As she put on her crown of a thousand stars.

There was a young girl
She who stopped dreaming
Eyes filled with darkness
Forgetting a thousand stars
And she whispered quietly
As she threw herself 
On a bed of a thousand dimmed stars.

Little did she know
The stars neither shone nor dimmed
They were there
Unseen, but twinkling weakly
Waiting for her to come back
Alive and fine
Bright and shine
For the stars to twinkle again.

I can’t read nor write They look at me with pity Like I’m born silly You don’t know what it’s like.

My digital innovation project is aimed to help young learners and dyslexic pupils in recognizing letter sounds and shapes as well as spelling English words.

A Thousand Words: An Introduction

-
Hello and good day to all😊  This blog exists as a medium to post my series of creative writing in order to fulfil my third task of the course TSLB3252 (Creative Writing). Taking this opportunity, of course, I might as well promote my other blog here 😉 (the only difference is the content is bilingual while the author is the same person, which is me.).  . Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about this blog name and its URL. As you can see, this blog name is A Thousand Words and it is as literal as it is. Though it is named A Thousand Words because the song A Thousand Years was playing in my head, I thought that it would sound good if I named it like so. For publicity purposes, see. And, won't all the creative posts here reach 1000 words, after all?  . However, is it enough to convey our complex emotions with a thousand words? Have you ever heard this: "a thousand words and I still can't tell you I like you" (the pickup line, phew). Have you ever felt li...
