Yes and story

My own poem hope you enjoy.

Dusk

Dusk with sand color hair and wearing a brown shirt.

He has shiney normal blue eyes.

His breath smells like sugar donuts.

Dusk can move as fast as a ninja and disappears when you blink.

When you touch Dusk you will feel like you are being carried by angels.

When you see Dusk he will be carrying buckets of gold.

Dusks voice sounds like you are being hypnotised and when he talks he might say ¨don't bother looking for me.
