Turtle Came to See me by margarita engle

The first story I ever write

is a bright crayon picture

of a dancing tree, the branches

tossed by island wind.

I draw myself standing beside the tree,

with a colorful parrot soaring above me,

and a magical turtle clasped in my hand,

and two yellow wings fluttering

on the proud shoulders of my ruffled

Cuban rumba dancer's

fancy dress.

In my California kindergarten class,

the teacher scolds me: REAL TREES

DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT.

It's the moment

when I first

begin to learn

that teachers

can be wrong.

They have never seen

the dancing plants

of Cuba.

An Attractive Girl

An Attractive Girl An attractive girl with beauty so rare Eyes that sparkle like diamonds in air Lips that shine like the morning sun And a smile that brightens everyone Her grace and poise are truly a sight With a heart that's pure and filled with light She walks with confidence, head held high And the world can't help but look and sigh Her aura is captivating and warm With a beauty that's both natural and charm She's a precious gem in a sea of stones And the love in her heart overflows Though she's just a girl, she's a wonder to see And the world is a better place, because she's free to be herself, and bring beauty where ever she go. Please note that this is a fictional poem and does not depict any real person. Also it's worth to note that beauty is subjective and it should be celebrated in all forms and shapes.

💐🌷My love 🌹🥀

My love, I’m here Thinking about; the word love, It’s like a dream that can’t be achieved, You came into my world; and changed the whole idea of love and now I feel; love is the sweetest, Love is pure, Love is true, Love is holy, Love is selfless, I love you. by 👉 Davis Macron source : https://therightmessages.com/romantic-poems-about-love-for-her/
