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!

  1. Erick, Jesus is the reason for the season for me too. Actually my little granddaughter just had her fourth birthday; so today I was explaining to her that Christmas is Jesus' birthday and that is really what is important about it..not all just Santa and presents, but to honor the day of Jesus' birth.. I liked the Goethe quote you shared. Right on!

  2. Hello Mary! Very kind of you to read this post. Thank you for sharing. I am glad that you celebrate Christmas for the same reason. It is surprising to note how many people care more about the gifts and decorating, more than the important reason for which CHRISTmas exists. I am glad to hear that you are teaching her! She is blessed to have such a bright grandmother like you! Blessings, sister in Christ!

  3. Hi Erick, poetry can indeed be quite a miraculous teacher if pupils perceive, keep reading and learning and believing, both in yourself and God. Have a great holiday!
