Sister

My sister’s a bookworm-
she reads and reads.
She takes a break every now and then and
makes origami.
The origami is like cranes in the water:
fishing, flying in the
air, eggs hatching,
birds feeding.
I feel like a crane,
trying to get her attention;
she’s like a worm,
trying to run away.
Judge’s Comments
Child’s view of a sister that is more than wise. Bookworms and origami cranes become breeding birds and fleeing worms. Attention in many forms.
