Poem that I made:
The Greatest Artist or Scientist?
In this life of art,
where element of dot in gametes,
come together to create a line,
that turn into round shape to form an embryo,
giving space for many internal organs and tissue,
skin with variety of colours, tone and textures,
balancing the eyes and limbs proportionally,
a center of heart to love,
movement of body with rhythm of steps,
at last having a sense of harmony in action,
and unity between brain, body and feelings,
Out of doubt, I looked up and asked the creator,
are you a scientist or an artist?
From this task, I learned how to construct a poem through different research from book and information.
