Hoyden

Today's word is "hoyden" ... HOID-n ...A boisterous, bold, and carefree girl; a tomboy. (dictionary.com)

Sparkle
No tea parties for her,
No silly girlie dresses,
No satin ribbons either,
For her golden tresses.

Just a tree for climbing,
Skates for rolling round,
A bike to get her places,
A home for the toad she found.

This little hoyden's happy,
As long as she can run,
Around her world unhindered,
Until the day is done.
