Elaine Makes a Surprising Discovery
As she drifted off to sleep, Elaine remembered Peter’s words as he carried her in from the carriage. “Don’t cry Miss Elaine. Remember when we read The Little Prince together? “It’s only with the heart that one can see rightly.”
Upon waking in the morning, as Elaine reached for her diary, she noticed a dark red heart had fallen out of her notebook on a necklace “Oh! I haven’t written in my tiny book since I lost its tiny pencil. I wonder who put that heart in there? And why did it only fall out now?”

Thanks to all of you who commented and left hearts and stars on Elaine’s first appearance yesterday. In response, I challenged myself to continue Elaine’s tale for the next 6 days to see what unfolds. This could be interesting or really boring. This is not my typical kind of writing so it will be a stretch. Please be gentle with me!
I was inspired by this amazing example of impromptu poetry by Rita Dove. You can read it or listen to it here https://www.npr.org/2017/08/25/545799325/rita-dove-set-phasers-to-poem
