Dear Erica:
I would like to thank you for reading my Around
the Block Poem.
I particularly appreciate these two comments you
made:
1) all the comments about punctation. I wasn't
sure where and how to punctate a poem.
2) The comment about the line "thick lather
of soap" I had a hard time coming up with something to put there. I am
glad you liked it.
Sincerely,
Jordan Stout
NOTE: If one of these three poems is saved in the
correct google folder, but nobody in ACW conferenced if for you, sign the white
board now with your name and the assignment.
