hey Andre, I have never been to Ozzy's kabob bu reading this makes me want to try it. I love food and am willing to try anything. It sounds family friendly and nice
Hi Ariel, I really enjoyed this piece. The poem is able to explain how this smell brings back happy, sad, fun memories. Crazy how one smell or sound can open up old wounds, feelings, and emotions. great job!
I really like this. Ive been told by people that i give the best hugs. Its a great way to calm.
Hey, College tuition seems to go up up and every year. I really enjoyed your post. More and more people need to realize that college isn't cheap and debt is a killer. Its a shame that bright smart people can't afford to go to school.
Hey Ariel, This is a very happy poem. When I finished i had a smile on my face. Your line " I was the sun" is very powerful. Kind of says " it all revolves around me." Great work!
Jimmy, I really enjoyed your poem. I can relate to this in so many ways. Just like everyone else I know, mornings are hard for me. I am constantly hitting my snooze button and rolling over to get more sleep. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Holden, Very interesting poem. I like how you talk about Allison's widows peak that no one mentions it, yet people think she looks like dracula. Very funny.
I for one am a huge lover of fast food. Its easy to get and usually pretty cheap. I feel like that's the reason why the fast food epidemic is on the rise, its easy and cheap. I'm a pretty active person so burning off those calories and fat...
I think its amazing how the gorilla was able to use sign language its amazing to hear about that. I wonder if gorillas are evolving or if koko is just smarter than other gorillas. Interesting
Hey Matthew I found a couple of these articles very interesting. Its been over 70 years since the bombs were dropped and japan still feels its effect. Some survivors are still bitter about the attack but some knew it had to happen.
I really enjoyed this piece! I sometimes notice that same voice. You can't explain it or tell what it says but its there. Sometimes not always a voice, its then a feeling or a smell that helps me.
