I’ve read your poem in Junior Mag this week. The title
is ‘The Dead Tree’ Great! It’s really a good poem. The
poem inspires me. Our body may be like the leaves.
They will fall down to the ground, but our soul will be
still alive. Our soul may be tired. You say it is waiting in
agony. But, it still gives us beauty. So let’s do our best
today and get the beauty of life. It is the inspiration that
I can get. And it’s interesting for me. Well, Juita, I’m
waiting for your poems. See you soon.
