To Create A Poem About Jair Jair Farciert It all begins with a blank canvas‚ copious amounts of emotion and insight‚ and a sixth sense. These are the elements needed to get started on Jair’s philosophy of life and to better comprehend his ideology you will feel what he feels and know what he knows‚ I am deprecating and collecting dust like furniture left out for too long; jaded certain to crash into the refulgence of your eyes.

EYES The first time I saw him‚ I was just a little girl I was quite surprised By how big and round Were his chocolate eyes His face was quite round and young for his age But the wrinkles and gray hair gave his age away He was short‚ strong and very endurant But his best trait was how he was very patient He was fun and funny and had the best laugh His big belly would rumble Every time he released his low chuckle But the best curve out of the numerous ones he had Was the curve his lips
