Title: Poet's Notes
Author: Poet
December 4
Met another kid who had questions about my name. I whispered to her that I inherited my teacher's name just like my teacher inherited the name from their teacher. And I suddenly realized that I had asked the same question when I was little.
The name represents the flow of time, the shortness of life, and my appreciation and
understanding of life.

I've devoted my life to poem creation and recorded many smiles and tears in life with my pen. I gave up chances and fame for poetry, but I never regret, because my heart has been filled with poems and poems have become an indispensable part of life.
This is a time of war and darkness, but I believe there is light deep down in everyone's heart, the truth and beauty we seek. I use my poems to express this belief and hope to awaken the light in everyone's heart. Every day, I will sit by my window, observe the world outside, and take notes. Sometimes I write about a flying bird. Sometimes I write about a flower in blossom. Sometimes I write about a ray of sunlight on the ground.
All of these are the source of my inspiration and help me create beautiful poems.
We write a long poem with the same name, a poem that would take more than days to read.

Today, I didn't write anything. I read the beginning of the long poem over and over again. It was an island where a god was born, an island with the same name as mine.
December 24
I'm leaving the city for Time Island, the source of the long poem.
I'll embark on an unknown journey to find the island in the legend. My heart is full of expectation and hope for the future. I believe there will be hardship, but I'll learn how to stay determined in the process.
My time and poetry last forever!
