Here is an example from Ch.3 #14.
She had been a cradle friend,
The girl I played dolls with.
We sang nonsense songs together.
We churned butter,
My small hands and Polly’s
Together
On the handle of the churn.
I took a deep breath.
And closed my eyes.
Dead? Polly’s dead?
Our Polly?
The sweat on my neck turned to ice.
I shivered.
That can’t be.
From Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
