Hey guys, hope everything's going alright at your end. Sorry you haven't heard from me for a while, but I've seriously been busy studying for these major, end-of-the-trimester tests that I have coming up next week. But never mind that - I'm here now! ;)
And it's time to reply to the comments! I've been meaning to get around to this entry, so honestly am glad that I can finally reply to your comments now. I love doing it - every comment means that someone read this blog, and as a writer, I'll take all the reading I can get! (No hate comments, however. Perhaps not that reading.)
Keep sending the comments in! You know I love to reply to them and love to read them! :)
From my last entry:
Ooh, congrats!
I can write poetry, just not very well. XD
Out of curiosity, do you dance?
-Lily
Oh, it's no big deal. My poetry is nothing compared to the poems in The New Yorker or Poetry magazine - I'd love to be able to write something like that! Although one of my friends DID read one of my poems (not The Dancer, another one) and said it made her feel stupid - and then added it was a compliment.
Hey - I'll take it! :)
And yes, as a matter of fact, I do dance. I love to. My dad said the other day, that two years ago I had two left feet and now I can dance really well. I would hope so - I use to take dance lessons and still dance about three times a week now - well, not this week since I've been so busy studying. Right now I'm taking a break. (After all the studying I've been doing, I'm making sure this is going to be one loooong break!)
hey pema! congrats! its a really cool poem, i saw it yesterday but i had to go to a party and i dint have tme to read it, but i read it on ur blog! and its SUPPer good! I only wihs i oculd write, im trying to keep my A in english, but its actually dropping! whooops…
i have never seen pema dance, but i know she can sing REALLy good
-Mehwish
Thanks Mehwish! Then good thing that I posted the poem. I wasn't sure if people were going to even read it! For aspiring writers, it always feels good to know when one of our works is actually something of worth. Or maybe it's just a 'me' thing - I have a lot of those.
For me, writing comes naturally to me. It isn't a chore, or something that I memorize or work on. Unless, of course, I have to memorize a persuasive essay format for the district writing test: extended hook, belief, claim, reason 1 & 2, thesis - told you I've been studying! ;)
And if you're talking about my singing in the talent show, I'm glad you liked it. Honestly, I haven't been doing so much singing lately... unless the shower counts. (I'm siiiinging in the rain...) I don't really think singing is for me - I'm better at dancing... although I still think you're a better dancer than I am - you and Dina were awesome at the talent show! You guys were 10 times better than my singing!
Hey.

I hope the cake turned out great.

And thanks for commenting at my site! :) I love yours - your layout seriously is DA BOMB!
(And I don't use that phrase that often! ;) )
The cake did turn out great, by the way. Even better than great - more like, second-slice-with-frosting-all-over-kinda-great!
Hey Pema, Congrats once again - Great Job, Its a really nice poem! I’m sure the cake you made was delicious. :D
- Akara
And thanks for commenting once again, Akara! Glad you liked the poem! I'm thinking about contacting the Kids Reading Room editor again - you know, just mention how I'm always up for any jobs or assignments (however small) for The LA Times. I'm also going to submit one of my articles to her - it won't hurt. ;)
Hey Pema!!! Love it! Good job!
:=D

-Miya
Thank you Miya! (And good use of the smiles!)
It was the best poem I have read so far. One can actually visualize the dancer.It was excellente!
-Sonam
I'm very, VERY glad you liked it Sonam. One of a poet's main goals is to let the reader be able to actually picture in their mind what the poem's lyrical verse is describing. And having that goal achieved in one of my poems as an aspiring writer? EXCELLENTE!
See you guys later!
What do you study? Like, ballet, modern, jazz, tap, what? I do ballet and modern. Dancing is really fun, yeah. 
I would really love it if you’d post more of your poetry. Since I myself can’t write poetry, I admire those who can.
