The Magic Photo
By Jasper L
In the
world there
is this thing
called
the magic
picture
And there
is only
one of
them in
the world
And it
holds the
power of seeing
my Dad through it

'This poem works so well
because of
those perfect line
breaks.
It has a style that stood
out because
of its beautiful simplicity
which hits
you
with an
emotional punch.'
