I Heart Poetry {Do You?}

There's something magical about written verse...  Here's a poem for ya... 
Think you don't like poetry?
Can't understand - the dancing words
Somersaulting, over and over,
White fields.
Looking crazy?
Spinning brain, let out that sigh.
It's okay.  You know poetry,
But you don't -
It's in that music that's booming 
That rap that's rhyming -
It's in the breeze that's blowing
Sweet zephyrs flowing -
In flowers blooming -
Fast crimson rides zooming -
It's in waterfalls, the moon, a simple tune -
In everyday life - azure skies - delight -
Poetry, my friend, is not so uptight.
Poetry, instead, is giving breath to life.

Hi Miss Dawn!It's me,Marietta again!I have one question,Miss Dawn.Why do you love writing so much?

{Ms. Dawn} said...

Dear Marietta,

Writing is my passion! It's my gift. Everyone has gifts {things that they are really good at that bring them joy}... If you don't know what your gifts are yet, don't worry, you'll find them... or more likely, they'll find you. =) Just think about what you're passionate about, what makes you happy, and what you feel like you're really good at. I think my love of writing comes from a love of reading, and stories, and libraries, and the way words sit on a page and affect the people who read them, and all things that are basically bookish! =)

Love Your Teacher,
Ms. Dawn

P.S.: I think one of your passions is Manga!!! =)
