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.

Love

Sofie
