Dear John

  Dear John,

I  want  a  man  who  knows  what  love  is  all  about.  You are  generous,  kind,  thoughtful.  People  who  are  not  like  you  admit  to  being  useless  and  inferior.  You  have  ruined  me  for  other  men.  I  yearn  for  you.  I  have  no  feelings  whatsoever  when  we  are  apart.  I  can  be forever  happy.   Will  you  let  me  be  yours?   Gloria

Poetry

from Joe Anson

During a 9th grade discussion about the similarities, differences, advantages, and disadvantages of poetry and prose, a student had this to say:

“Poetry is a testament of a conscious effort on an individual’s part to make structure and beauty out of chaos. Poems have rhythm, rhyme, depth, and usually a profound illuminating thought about our world.”

Respond in your composition book to the picture prompt.  If you are absent, here is the optical illusion.  You need to look at it right side up and upside down.
