‘To Dear Paper Girl’: Poem by Kaushiki Nayak, Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park

Lives like she has nine lives,
knows that she has oneCareful, paper girl.
Don’t fly too close to the sun
Gently fold and crease your edges
And follow her lead through the moonlight tresses
Such fragility, yet she can’t be undone
Careful, paper girl. Don’t fly too close to the sun.
She dances on pages, and inks them in gold
Seen by everyone, yet her story untold
Lives like she has nine lives, claims she wants none
Careful, paper girl, don’t fly too close to the sun
