(Decided to try another day with the Writer's Digest prompts. This one was to write a sonnet, which the site blog described simply as a poem with fourteen lines. See http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/2013-april-pad-challenge-day-14)
They say it takes twenty-one days to create a habit.
But I like the idea of fourteen.
When I was fourteen years old,
I decided to become a writer
even though my mother dreamed of her daughter
going pre-med.
I did become a doctor,
just not the type she had in mind.
The other day she called me a genius,
which made me smile
as I remembered the signs
I made at fourteen:
"Geniuses have no time for washing dishes"
and "Creative minds are usually messy."
