TEACHER'S DAY

Asteria, thoughtful Korean
who called me by my first name
or just, Teacher!
Oscar, the cheerful popular girl
with hardly a word of English;
Barbara, whose cheeks were always
pulled by Vincent and Rock;
Carter, sleeping at his desk,
Anna, Sky, and the rest.

Thank-you for the Teacher's Day rose.

Characters of excitment and creativity with a different focus. Your teachings in Chins is an awesome learning experience for you too Kenny. Tell us all about it. I don't want to miss a beat.
love,

I saw the Great Wall on a trip to China, and it is so impressive, it is hard to explain. Then you realize the thousands upon thousands of people who died to build it and are interred in the stone.

And there really are Golden Buddha's. They are smeared with a gift of opium.

Enjoyed reading.

An intellect stimulator is these poetic-philosophic satires... inspiring pieces... "Golden Buddha" and "THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA"
shine in my mirror.

In admiration,

outstanding imagery ... an excellent lesson is poetic agility: resonating with internal meaning and external atmosphere ...

The topic today, students, is famous buildings, and you will hang like icicles for all eternity on the Great Wall.

That's quite a class act!

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
