Poetic Rhyme

I walked down halls that never saw me before...
Chairs filled with rhyming hearts all behind the door...

Each set of eyes sketched poems from a special place...
All with such beauty and heart that leaves a lasting trace...

I came to see and meet some young poets and maybe help a few...
But you touched my heart right back, and now I've learned from you...

A day that will stand tall in my list of special times...
And how nice it was to speak with you in our own poetic rhyme....

 Dedicated to the 7th graders of Jonas Bronck Academy of

What an inspiring kid. That's what i like from younger-aged people, they always have thoughts that move adults. Great one, Michael :)
