Our Last Couple Weeks Retold through Haikus
Written by
Chad
T-Shirt Project
Tana busted her
butt to draw this graffiti
styled t-shirt for us
Early Morning in a Tropical Village
In our village, a
goat, a tree, a health clinic,
Tana walking in
Moving to Our New Village And Starting a Garden
Goodbye Koudougou
Salif, Tana, Ibrahim
Will sow seedlings here
Ode to Moussa, My Awesome Language Teacher
Moussa watched a
Hollywood movie, then asked
us: what does "thug" mean?
Salesmen in Africa Often Approach You While You're Eating at Restaurants and Try to Sell You Random, Odd Things
During dinner they
Sell sunglasses, pianos,
Christmas trees, it's strange
The Southwest Swears In
We're the southiest
We're the westiest Peace Corps
Volunteers around
My Host Brothers and Sisters
Rashid rapped bout AIDS
Karim wrote homework for me
I taught them guitar
Little Gracie
Cutest host sister
Dances just like Shakira
Sings in high-pitched voice
African Lunch
Rice, cabbage, always
Food is ninety percent carbs
Tongue wants sugar drinks

Gracie is adorable!!! Mom
Love cabbage, perhaps not nightly. The praying mantis was great, it had my poms checking out the computer screen. great night noises, how many have you identified? Gracie is precious. Love and Light, renee
*Haikumment*
Chad and Tana rock
the guitar and the healthy
teachings minus carbs
Tana that graffiti logo is awesome!! As are all the haikus :)
