Ms. Cox said we could write a story or a poem right Jenny：Yes. I haven’t decided which one to write yet. I feel that it’s easier to write a story. You should write one, too. Danny：I don’t think pared with poems stories usually have longer passages. Every story must have a beginning, a middle and an end. It takes too much time to write a story. Jenny：That’s true. But a story doesn’t limit you like a poem does. With poems, you need to think about format, rhyme and meaning. You must use words very carefully because so few words are used in poems. Danny：I know, but I still think it’s easier to write a short poem. Jenny：Although a poem has fewer words, it’s not always easier to write. Every word must have power and meaning. If you think about it, it can take a long time to come up with the right words. Sometimes writing less takes more effort than writing more. Danny：It is hard, but I did it. I described something I love. Would you like to hear my poem Brian：You’ve already finished Danny：Yes! It was easy! Jenny：We’d love to hear your poem, Danny.

With this sweet circle in my mouth, I like to think about going south. There, with my parents, I can go for a short stay, To sit in the sunshine eating donuts all day!
