My sister joined the forum yesterday. Today I told my dad about it.
He has also joined. He is a very talented poet. He has been writing poems forever. He has tons of them. He has even had one published I beleive it is called "time" Though I do not remeber what the book is called.
I hope you all enjoy his poems. I always have.
Both of my parents write poetry my mom is also a very talented poet. _________________ What would life be without Harry Potter. |

My parents taught me to read
Well, they kind of forced it on me. But I've found out how much I love it  _________________ And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am |

| My parents were very selective about what they would read to me. My mum wouldn't even read me Harry Potter because the Dursleys were so mean to Harry so basically that's how I got into reading by having to read books because my parents wouldn't. |

My mom read to be before I was even truly alive (while she was pregnant) so, that's cool I think.
My parents would read to me before I went to bed. I always fell asleep while they were reading...but, I liked it!  _________________ ~Shaye

My parents read to me a lot. And they read a lot themselves. It bugged me that they read so much when I was little, I wanted them to play with me!!! I wasn't really interested in reading for a while; my mother thought I would never read! Which is kind of hilarious, considering how many books I read a day now... But in first grade or so, there was a kid reading Harry Potter by herself, and I was still reading "see spot run" stuff. Well, I've always been a bit of a competetive child, so that was it for me. I ended up being one of the better readers and spellers by the end of the year. heehee.

Lol, well i am glad that you were so competitive so that we have such an avid reader and fabulous writer one the figment. I think she must have been planted there so that you would eventually end up here... that was the master plan! _________________
