For the bards."If there would be no light, we would fail into an endless sleep of dust and become the stars the moon the endless burning sun." Does this sound like a poem written by a 9-year-old? Probably not. Maybe because Sahara Sahara (səhâr`ə) [Arab.,=desert], world's largest desert, c.3,500,000 sq mi (9,065,000 sq km), N Africa; the western part of a great arid zone that continues into SW Asia. Sunday Sunday: see Sabbath; week. Spain Spain, Span. España (āspä`nyä), officially Kingdom of Spain, constitutional monarchy (2005 est. pop. 40,341,000), 194,884 sq mi (504,750 sq km), including the Balearic and Canary islands, SW Europe. was 8 when she wrote it. This young poet is not only creating beautiful verses, but has earned over $50,000 for If There Would Be No Light, her illustrated book of poetry. Sahara started making up poems when she was 5 by reciting them into an answering machine before she learned how to write. Her proud mom (1) (Messaging-Oriented Middleware) See messaging middleware. (2) (Microsoft Operations Manager) Software that monitors and captures system and application events throughout the network. put her poems into small photocopied books, and one luckily found its way to HarperSanFrancisco Publishers. Since then, Sahara's work has brought her national attention. Not bad for a kid bard. |
