Let me share what our little Miss first poem was created last night. Her religion teacher gave them homework to make a poem about liturgical gestures. I was surprised that she managed to make it without my guidance at the age of 12. She might be a good poet in the future. Here it goes.
The Liturgical Gestures
by Erin Louisse R.G.
The priest makes the sign of the cross
The people emulate the sign of the cross
They are looking at him across
The priest waves his hands while standing
While the people are sitting
They are into God's words by listening
The priest executed the genuflection by prostating
The priest gives his blessing
The people show their peaceful sign by bowing
The mass ended with handshaking
That's the power of liturgical gesturing

Applause she is very talented and will be a poetess in her own way. Definitely save this one and when she writes another she can start following her progress, My dad was a popular Latvian poet and writer and he had me doing little poems at the age of eight. I was writing them in both Latvian and English.

@Shavkat my dad passed way back in 1967 when I was ten. Since then when I get inspired at times my fingers fly over the keyboard and I have to look at what I wrote, I believe at those times my dad helps out and kind of takes over,

@RasmaSandra During my childhood years, I used to dream of being a writer. Unfortunately, no one mentored me. I am trying to polish my writing skills from time to time.
