Poetry...

...speaks to the mind, which replenishes the soul. It quenches every emotion that we might be feeling and extinguishes any feeling of sadness we might have. Poetry fulfills every emotion all at once. The end product is extraordinary. Writing poetry has opened many doors in my perception. It has allowed me to see different things I may have never experienced. It has allowed me to understand what others might be going through. I was able to purchase a copy of Emily Dickinson's poems. I am excited to read it over the winter break! School takes a lot of my time, but it definitely is rewarding!

 I hope that you all have a wonderful time on this December. As a son of God, I treasure Christmas day. Not because of its presents, not because of the lights, not because of the fancy designs, not because of the pine tree, and not because of the break... Christmas day is special to me because it is the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Thank you all for reading my poetry! Stay strong in what you believe in!

I leave you with a quote I wrote on a whiteboard on my study break today. We must exercise all of our talents! That makes all the difference. Hope you are all having a wonderful day. It rained here in Fullerton, CA today. It was nice to finally get some rain. Warm wishes to you all!
