Poetry
Sumire is busy with school and enjoying the challenges of entering the secondary school program.
Here is a poem she wrote for English class:
Where I Come From
I come from maple syrup,
bacon and pancakes,
My stomach rumbles as I remember
the taste of delicious food.
I come from a mother and a father.
I come from the time my father
sang twinkle twinkle little star to me,
I come from the sunrise,
From the phrases 'Follow your dreams',
'Try your best' and 'Learn from your mistakes',
I have come from an alien world.
I am a character from the Going to Bed book.
I go to Mars in the summer,
losses of loving people come back in my dreams,
It is like a leaf from a family tree
coming back to life.
-Sumire

End of April/Start of May is Golden Week in Japan and this year we got the whole week off so we visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Enjoy the pix! There are lots of them - only a fraction of how many I took!
