In the past week or so, Edinger House have written poems for the Amistad! To add a little sparkle to the project, Ms. Edinger decided to do a collage for the poems. Now all of the collages are completed and they all look fabulous! If you want to see mine, look below and leave a comment by clicking on the title of this post. My poem is a little hard to read, so look above it for a translation.

Sarah Margru Kinson

Mango trees sway in the wind,
I enjoy climbing up them,
Yet I don’t know,
That rough times await me.

A Spanish ship comes to shore,
And white men take me by my neck.
Yet I do not know,
That I might never come back.

Later in life,
After many hard times,
I go home.
I now tell other children,
Don’t stray from your father,
Because if you do,
You may never see him again.
