My Strawberry
July 28th, 2009 by AdminRed and very beautiful
With leaves green and holes.
Small and red.
Very good.
I feel such a good sensation in my mouth.
When I eat this fruit I need my mouth
And my teeth.
In my mouth I feel such a good sensation
And satisfaction in my stomach.
I am with my fruit and we are happy.
I can see the fruits in the little trees.
I feel very good because I see my special fruit.
It’s a fruit from many places.
I think Florida.
It’s the special fruit of the universe.
