Random Sample Poem: (refresh for more samples)
BREAKING GROUND My heart is like the stony ground Of Pennsylvania, Or the rocky soil of New York Yes, things can grow there, But they must struggle And seldom thrive Sure, the butter cups and clover With their shallow roots Spring forth each season But to till this soil is A labor of love, hard work With small reward.
