From Klukkan í turninum:
Learning To Write
You should draw some blue waves
start from the left
go on without stopping
with light movements
over to the right
fill up the page
then you can colour the ship
the sun
the clouds
the bird
soon afterwards all the children
have finished their pictures
in the top right corner a beaming sun smiles
on the left is a cloud
a bird flying over the ship
but in the picture by little Ögn
who lives with her mother in the battered wives shelter
the sun is crying
the brooks of tears reach right down to the blue waves
and fill the ocean to its brim
