How do you define
That emotion that drives you
Close to the edge of
The boundary of
sanity insanity
Where do you fall in
Love is what, to you?
Marvelous, disastrous, what-
who knows except for
your concealed antics
your mind that reflects your pure
sinister essence

Dear Jillian:
I am excited by your poem, “Define,” because your poem is very cool.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “ Marvelous, disastrous, what-
who knows except for your concealed antics, your mind that reflects,your pure,sinister essence.” I think this is very cool because It is a paragraph where you express many feelings.
Thanks for you writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I liked this poem a lot. I would like to see more poems than you write.

I love how mysterious you made the poem sound.It makes me think deeply
