Morning
girl
|
|
I see a
girl in the water
|
|
I see
strange men In a square canoe
|
|
|
We see a
stranger
|
|
|
I wish
to have gold and precious stones
|
|
I wish
to have a sister
|
|
|
We wish
to have something we don’t
|
|
|
I
believe in god
|
|
I
believe I can speak to spirits
|
|
|
we
believe in a higher power
|
|
|
I gave
the Indians red caps, glass beads and many other things of small value
|
|
I gave
the visitors parrots, cotton thread, javelins, and many other things
|
|
|
We gave
many things to the people we encountered
|
|
|
I taste
the sea salt in the air
|
|
I taste
the milk of a fresh coconut
|
|
|
We taste
the tropics
|
|
|
I feel
that I must succeed in the mission granted to me
|
|
I feel
that I must protect my family
|
|
|
We feel
that we are needed

I like the descriptions, espescaillay "we taste the tropics" this line makes you feel like you really can "taste the tropics".
ReplyDeleteI really liked the part where you said we both want something we don't have...
ReplyDeleteI think that happens with everyday people today too. I mean I know it happens to me all the time!!!!!
Good Job.
