My first story and my first poem

Tweet

When I was 8 I wrote my first short story. I was in the second grade, and I was able to write, but I wasn't able to spell all of the words that I wanted to use. I asked my mother to spell the words I hadn't learned. Afterwards I ran back to the living room in order to continue the story. Five minutes later I needed help again, and I had to find my mother again and ask her about another word. I really wanted to write the story. I knew exactly how I wanted to write the story, but I was only 8 years old and spelling and punctuation weren't easy. Maybe you are wondering what kind of story it was. I don't remember the details, but it was a story about two children who were in a room. They locked the door, but there was something wrong with the lock, and they couldn't unlock the door. They were trapped inside the room. Eventually they managed to leave the room, so the story had a happy ending. I wrote my first poem when I was 11. I had a cat poster in my room, and my first poem was a poem about those cats. I wrote that they seemed lonely and I wrote that they might jump out of the poster one day. Obviously I knew that they weren't going to leave the poster, but it was a nice daydream
