"Under my thatch roof"
By Jayde Vernoy ( 2006)
I lay in silence,
Unable to sleep,
We'd move to the city,
so soon each day I'd weep.
President Chavez had said,
Right on TV,
That he didn't want to see in the jungle,
One missionary.
I felt like crying,
when he said those words.
I felt like I was being stabbed,
by a thousand swords.
I loved our home,
I loved it there,
how could Chavez say that?
It just wasnt fair.
So we packed a bunch of things,
some were old,some were new,
but when we boxed it all up,
we could only take a few.
"Plane Day" came,
and we all climbed inside the plane.
I did not like it.
I thought it was insane.
One last look,
At the Indian's lined up,to say goodbye,
It hurt me so much,
I thought I would die.
But here I am now,
One year later,
getting used to a new life
And no longer eating gator.

Awesome job, Jayde! And yes everyone, that is Jadye Louise Vernoy climbing that pole!
Oh how adorable. She is an athlete I presume. She did very good climbing that pole! Something I don't think will attempt at my age. LOL
What an awesome poem!
Wow. She seems to have quite a talent!
I don't think I'd have the patience to think of words for a poem. lol
