Hi everybody! I hope you're doing good! I got back from New York City a little while ago. I went with my mom to hear the Dalai Lama speak and to research Central Park for a project I have to do for school. It was fun! The Dalai Lama made me laugh which most other religions don't make me do. It was different in a good kind of way.

I stayed with my dad last night and wrote another poem. It's not about much but I haven't written anything in a while so I thought I'd try again. I hope you like it! It's called "In the Distance".

In the Distance

In the distance
crickets chirp,
trains roar,
and cars whistle by.

In the distance,
dogs bark,
telephones ring
and music fills the air

In the distance,
people laugh,
horns honk,
and birds sing softly

In the distance
Wet hair hits my face,
the smooth cleansing air
smells so sweet.

In the distance
the feeling of calmness and relaxation
is so clear.
Excitement can wait

In the distance
the stars twinkle
and I can smell
the fresh cut grass

In the distance
this is surely
a perfect night
Can you see it?

Bye!
