    I love this honest and familiar voice, Mindy. Bonus points for fitting your words into a heart shape, as well!

    Aww, poor Kate! I wonder what Jake thinks? Maybe that can be Mindy's next poem...

    I like the feeling of experiencing the angst of young love.
    If I were attempting to make this lovely shape, I would probably mess up the typing & it'd become not a heart. Maybe a splat.

    Adorable! (I had a heart-shaped poem in THE LAST FIFTH GRADE but it was cut.)
