And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!

Fall the leaves.
Hush the eaves.
Camilla's Corner:
Dear Children,
Poetry writing is a graceful and beautiful way to express how you think and feel. You might need to compose yourself before choosing suitable words that you actually need and make them rhyme. You might find it hard to start in the beginning; however, once you form a habit of writing, you will be able to have a lot of ideas and think freely and fall in love with the words. Enjoy reading poems. I am looking forward to reading your poetry as well!

Love, Peace, Hope & Future!
