paula green you came to blockhouse bay school and you inspired me to write poems
i wrote a poem about jaguars here it is

jaguars are fast and mysterious
and when they laugh they are heilerios
but they are deadly
so you must tread carefully
or your wounds will be searyos

i also did a picture with this

Poetry is often times regarded as one of the relics of the pass. Nowadays, you can hardly see people who really love poetry, The major shift towards technology has made the next generation into computer loving geeks, thus poetry was left out. I am one of those people who really love poetry. The works of Martin Luther King and Edgar Allan Poe are one of my favorites. I absolutely adore the manner to which they express themselves and their ideas.
