This is a review of Fadia's series of poems on the five senses. I loved the language she used in the various poems.

I can't believe we just had our last literature tutorial ever. That is so sad : ( I think it has been one of my favourite subjects over the last few years. I'm not looking forward to a year of just education subjects.
