A letter from Mahshid to Sue

Sue, Mahshid is 17. Here's her letter:

In the name of God

Dear Sue,

I hope you are well. We listened to your voice which was very nice.

Does your time allow you to answer my questions? My questions are these:

is thee a so called paradise water fall in South America and is there a forgotten land in this place?

My teacher said to me you have two grand children. Can I ask you to send their photos?

Mrs Sue, I love America very much. What is your favorite soccer team? my favorite soccer player is Ronaldo what about you?

Thank you very much. Your friend, Mahshid.

A letter from Monire to Sue

Sue, Monire does not have direct access to the internet from her house. She is 12 years old. She has asked me to send you this letter.

In the name of God

Dear Sue,

How are you? I hope you are well. We listened to your voice. It was very good. Will you please answer my questions? Are you a thin woman? Do you wear glasses? I like to see you. Can you send a photo of you for me and Mahshid, please? We like to see you.

I like America very much. I like to live there and learn my lessons in America. My teacher Mr. Taghdarreh said that you have a garden. Please write for me about your garden and your house.

Thank you very much.

Monire

Love is the mother of poetry

To follow our pleasant discussion about the necessity of poetry with Sue a while ago here is a piece from the film “How the West was Won.”

Linus is a man who has spent his whole life in forests with bears and beasts, but when the time comes even he has to resort to poetry to reveal his love for a girl. Just see:

"Eve... Eve, you make me feel like a man standing on a narrow ledge... ...comin' face to face with a grizzly bear. There just ain't no ignorin' the situation."
