she wears a paper hat . . .: Remember

'O, but everyone was a bird;
and the song was wordless;
the singing will never be done.'

[Siegfried Sassoon]

my words are pink and they play the ukulele, softly . . .

My name is Kerri ní Dochartaigh.

I like the feeling that you get inside when you say the words kaleidoscope, encyclopedia and zenith.

I often want to run away with the circus (but one that has no animals). The reasons for this are as follows

-the colours, the fonts that they use in their posters and the fact I want to live in an old-fashioned

Gypsy caravan.

When I was small I used to write words down on paper aeroplanes and throw them at my Mamma.

I still write my words down but I am no longer any good at origami.

Thank-you for reading my letters.
