Poetry Love

Je Andy Angrand-a student at Jamaica High School- went to the American Poetry Museum in Washington D.C. during January where he won an award by Poetry.com for his adorable poem 'You'.

Angrand's accomplishment was exposed by Jamaica high school's Library Review. The story behind his accomplishment is even better

Je Andy wrote his charming poem 'You' for his girlfriend, Tracy Ann, who is also a student at Jamaica High School. The poem is about their relationship before they started going out. It is written about the crush he had on Tracy Ann. Throughout the poem, he is expressing his feelings towards her with admirable lines like "Can't sleep cause you better than my dream"

Angrand say's he loves to write poetry. When asked why he wrote 'You', His amiable response was "I want everyone to know" Know what? "About her".

He found out about poetry.com at the Jamaica high school library. He went to the American Poetry Museum where his poem competed with other Poems. He made it to the finals, won an award and cash!. He accomplished in having everyone know of his feelings "about her". Look out for his new poem, 'Tammy'(his nick name for Tracy Ann).

Other Students in Jamaica high School can also win awards, win money, get exposure for their talents by writing a poem or story by sending them to websites like Poetry.com, tnjpoetry.com, and poetryamerica.com for poems and teenink.com, and writing.com for stories. Students can simply write about anything they want and get great exposure for it!

You have some mispelled words and have some grammer errors. Reread your article and fix them. But overall it was a nice and interesting article.

hey asmaa you have some spelling errors such as "He amiable" it doesnt even make sense and after you write a quote you shouldn't question after.

I would give you a 3. The lede was great but towards the middle I lost interest.

A few spelling and grammar errors but besides that, it was good.
Be careful with the words you choose to express things.
