Autumn Poetry Reading Class –Unfinished Project
Fawwaz calls this month, “bulan bahasa” as his school is conducting language and literary competitions today, while in our house, there are at least 3 homeworks of poetry reading and literary works on his list.
He did a good kick-off last week:
jalanjalan naik taksi
mandimandi di sungai
makanmakan di kentucky
–you master bahasa ibu, son! let’s check your early version in bahasa three years ago:
Di kebun binatang
aku melihat beruang
beruang melihat aku
aku tidak takut
beruang mungkin takut
*Ueno Zoo, Tokyo 2005
hmmmm… you played with the limited vocabularies
This weekend you threw another piece:
AUTUMN
Dear autumn,
brush your teeth and shower
welcoming your sister:
winter!
SNOW
I love snow,
go, slow, blow, glow, go
So, my dear son..good luck with your “lomba bulan bahasa” today. Enjoy the competition. No matter the result would be, you are the winner in my heart.
Love,
Mum.
