Taylor Swiftās 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: āReminder that taylor [sic] won a national poetry contest in 4th grade⦠she HAS been the songwriter of the decade.ā
The poem āA Monster In My Closetā is one of the earliest examples of Taylorās current writing style.
Thereās a monster in my closet and I donāt 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 Iām gonna catch him!
Iāll set a real big trap!
Then Iāll train him really well.
Heāll answer when I clap!
When I looked up in that closet, there was nothing there but stuff.
I know that monsterās in there!
I heard him huff and puff!
Could it be he wants to eat me?
Maybe Iām his favourite tray.
And if he comes to get me,
Iāll scream loudly, 'Go away!!'
If heās nice, Iāll name him 'Happy.'
If heās bad Iāll name him 'Grouch.'
I suspect that he is leaving, but if not⦠Iāll kick him out!
