Number One Loneliness
Melissa Hicks
Grade 10
Like a puppy on its
first night away from its mother's soft, tender presence.
Like a flower in the
dead of winter, hidden from the sun's light and warmth.
Like a kit, unable to
fly because the wind is not there to lift it high in the air.
Like two best friends
tom apart by a move and can no longer laugh, play or cry together.
