Leaves of Grass

June 10, 1850

I have just started to write poems for a collection of poems I write which will be called "Leaves of Grass". You guys should all read it. In it I am going to talk about my life, religion, and large events in my life. If you want to read any of them comment. I will send you a poem of mine. Hopefully you can edit it. I hope you enjoy. Also the Comromise of 1850 has just been put into affect. This is a law making it that there can be no slavery past
