Alliteration Poems

The terrific tiny Tim tipped the tall tank.
The terrified tiger tasted his own blood.
An angry adder attacked an ass.
Lyle loved and liked little Lydia.
A brown bear bore through the back of a buggy.

Fine!

Finally the pond which we have been working on is complete...I wonder if the dirt will hold?   Papa might want to check a few places but we are finally finished.   We are thinking of putting tilapia in it.  The first fish Lipgut and Ferahgo are going to be put in it.   I caught Lipgut and a Congolese caught Ferahgo which Caleb named.   When I caught Lipgut I tried to take out the hook but ripped his lower lip open.   So thats why I called him that name.

No Turning Away

No Turning Away

     “Please fasten your seatbelts because we are about to start taxing for take-off,” said the attendant.   Going from one country to another for breaks and school quarters is always fun because I can see many things.   I love watching mountains and lakes flying past as I make the descend.   Flying  to different countries helps put more knowledge in my life than if I had just stayed in the United States.   My three favorite countries are United States, South Africa, and Congo.
     My  first favorite country is the United States.   While there, I have been given huge, red strawberries.   In the Colorado mountains, it is ideal for going mountain biking.   In the winter, it almost snows many days.   Last, I just like to shoot guns without being harassed.
     The second country I favor is South Africa.   Getting up early to go on an early ride in the biggest game park is exciting.   There are really enjoyable and exciting amusement parks where I can ride on a crazy fast rollercoaster or go on a log ride.    Going shopping  in the biggest mall in Africa is delightful, because it has so many different things to view.   Walking in the mountains and breathing in the fresh air makes me feel like I am in heaven.
     Finally , the Democratic Republic of Congo is my last favorite.   Having privacy in walled in compounds is pleasant if I am having a party.   Eating the many exotic fruits is a treat.   The people there are very friendly and wave back whenever I wave.   Driving out of town is fun on weekends instead of just staying home.
     I am very blessed because I have gone to all these countries.   I am always for seeing new things when I travel.   United States, South Africa, and Congo all have nice airports, nice people, and beautiful landscapes.   No one can turn me away from these countries.

Tree
beautiful, shade
heated by the sun
rhythmically, dutifully
It matches with creation
Car
dusty, old
cobwebbed by spiders
finally, eventually
Vehicle pulled to the dump
Admiratio
tired, content
sleeping on my chair
happily, drowsily
He dreams with a happy heart.

Through the Community

Out in the village, the dirt roads mingle with the dust, covered huts.   The orange, clay bricks and brown thatched roofs, harden in the sultry sun.   Scattered mano trees stand out from tall, wavy grass.   The goat poop and kwanga overwhelms the tangy, smell of the pineapples on small bamboo tables outside under the spreading flaboyont trees.   Clucking chickens and laughing children swarm though the community of Kundulungu.

Found a Chamealion

This Sunday Papa, Mama, Caleb, and I went to go pick guavas at a mission that I don't know how to spell.   But Caleb and I went ahead and started to explore because there was no guavas ripe yet.   I was walking when I saw something move on the grass....   It was a green with a little bit of torquise and blue here and there.   I picked it up and showed Mama and Papa.   They thought it was really cool that I found a chamelean.   They said that we should not keep it because it would probably die.   We didn't have a camera so we didn't take a picture.   Papa is thinking of building a fish pond in the piapia orchard in our yard.   It is going to be big.   Papa thinks we should put some tilapia in it.  Two more weeks from thursday until Benjamin, Desiree, and Lyle come back!

Garden

Tomatoes are dead
Bought seeds to grow
Planting watermellon
My first time
How good a farmer am I?
