This is the first Les Miserables fic I've written in awhile, so please be nice. I've always loved Azelma, and I feel she doesn't get enough attention.

Disclaimer: I don't own Les Miserables.


Cosette

Everyone calls

her 'Lark'.

Her name

is Cosette.

She always

is at work.

Mama always

shouts at and

beats her.

We played

with her once.

But we can

no longer

play with her.

'Ponine says

it's because

she has to

earn her keep.

I scorn and sneer

at her,

but I don't really

understand why

we're so mean to

the Lark.
