Poem of the Day

Here’s a poem:

The Wet Stuff

—

Sometimes it’s blue,

Sometimes it’s green.

But most of the time

No colour can be seen.

—

Sometimes it’s square,

Sometimes it’s round.

Sometimes there’s no

Shape to be found.

—

Sometimes it’s cold,

Sometimes it’s hot.

So be careful if it’s

Boiling in the pot.

—

Sometimes it’s soft,

Sometimes it’s hard.

But only in a cold

Drink in my yard.

—

It’s always wet

And never dry.

So what is this stuff

We feel when we cry?

A Trip

Last week, I went on a trip to somewhere in China. I was there for two days. I saw a lot of old buildings and museums. I went to an art gallery to see some paintings and photographs, they were very beautiful.

I ate pork dumplings and a lot more delicious food. I drank a lovely cup of tea, jasmine flower, but it was very expensive.

I hope I can go back to this city. There are a lot of beautiful old streets and interesting people to talk to and things to see. The food in this city is delicious as well.

Do you know which city I visited?

Tell me about a place you have visited before and what you did there.
