Africa






Last April I went to Africa on a safari. I had such a great time. I saw many animals up close. Our first night we slept in Nairobi at a cool hotel that doubled as a giraffe rescue place!







 They had huge windows that the giraffes would stick there heads in though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats one eating my breakfast!
The day after that we started the real safari. Here are some pictures.











Africa was such a great experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing

I Wish...



I wish...
there was no war
I wish...
everyone was treated fairly
I wish...
there was no such thing as arguing
It’s way too much to ask ...
because the only person who can make your wishes
come
true
is...
YOU

The Ocean


                                      

Calm one minute and stormy the next
The Ocean
Mad…
Waves crashing on to the shore
Battering rocks so much they turn smooth
Then retreating back into the dark sea
Like a cat slinking out of trouble
BUT
When the sea is calm…
The crystal clear water stretches over everything
like glass stretching over a window
I can see my reflection copying me
I am like the ocean
Mad one minute
Calm the next

My Pen




Moves across the paper on my commands
                  S
                      L
                         I
                            D
                              I
                                  N
                                     G
to the next word
                      Like gazelle leaping
Away
                       from a cheetah
Can write and draw anything
                        from Non Fiction
to
              Fantasy
Any Day
Any Time
                                 Any Where

My House in Alaska


Alaska

Quiet…
Except waves crashing
On the shore,
Bald eagle’s majestic cries,
And an occasional rustle in the dense leaves
Salmon jump so
HIGH
They should be in the Olympics
ZIP plunk ZIP plunk
A vibration goes though my arms
I feel
My jig
100
feet
below
Alone...
On my skiff
Peaceful...
Never want to leave
goes by so
fast
last day
goes by too

FAST
