Hello, Boys and Girls!
Happy October! I love the season of Autumn. The leaves are changing colors. I see pumpkins on doorsteps. The air is getting cooler. It's a perfect time to curl up with a blanket and read poetry. In my opinion, poetry is a wonderful format to read. Poetry can give us information. Poetry can give description. Poetry can tell a story. Sometimes poetry rhymes, sometimes it does not rhyme. Some poets are serious, some are silly. Some poems are very short, some are very long. I encourage you to try out reading different types of poetry. You might find that you share my love of poetry. Some of you might even enjoy writing your own poetry.
