72. Dear Jack,
It’s been some weeks since I last wrote you. How have you been?
Do you have any interest in poems? Recently I have read a collection of poems and have become very interested in poetry.
From the poems I have read, I have learned that poems have rhythms and rhymes and therefore sound beautiful, even more beautiful than prose. Though a poem is short and contains only a limited number of words, it can present an image to its readers and arouse the readers’ unlimited imagination, as a picture does. Not only can it represent beautiful things, but it can also record historical events. A poem can convey the poet’s feelings, so poetry is a very good form of literature to express one’s emotion. That’s why I have come to like poems.
Attached to this letter is a short poem by me. Will you like it? Please let me know what you think of it.
Looking forward to your next letter. Yours sincerely, Li Hua
