Taylor Swiftโs pen game has been nothing short of magical since she was the tender age of ten.
A fan posted a screenshot of the poem Taylor wrote at ten years old. The caption read: โReminder that taylor [sic] won a national poetry contest in 4th gradeโฆ she HAS been the songwriter of the decade.โ
The poem โA Monster In My Closetโ is one of the earliest examples of Taylorโs current writing style.
Thereโs a monster in my closet and I donโt know what to do!
Have you ever seen him?
Has he ever pounced on you?
I wonder what he looks like!
Is he purple with red eyes?
I wonder what he likes to eat.
What about his size!!
Tonight Iโm gonna catch him!
Iโll set a real big trap!
Then Iโll train him really well.
Heโll answer when I clap!
When I looked up in that closet, there was nothing there but stuff.
I know that monsterโs in there!
I heard him huff and puff!
Could it be he wants to eat me?
Maybe Iโm his favourite tray.
And if he comes to get me,
Iโll scream loudly, 'Go away!!'
If heโs nice, Iโll name him 'Happy.'
If heโs bad Iโll name him 'Grouch.'
I suspect that he is leaving, but if notโฆ Iโll kick him out!
