"Hope is the thing with feathers" ...

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all

- Emily Dickinson

These are possibly my four favourite lines of poetry of all time. I hope they will inspire you to write a poem..

There are no rules just write from your heart...

thank you,

My little bird of hope.

The tunes so sweet and sombre it's hard not to cry.
No real words are heard, just soft humming, my lullaby.

  Yep I am going trick or treating on Halloween!! I'm so excited. My sister just painted a spider-web on my eye and it looks so cool. We're really getting into the Halloween spirit here. Me and my friends are taking my little brother trick-or-treating with us. He's dressing up as a penguin! He's obsessed with penguins right now and he's sooooo cute! I will let you know if I start accepting pre-writes. I might closer to the end date
