henri murthy“Where I’m From”
By: Henri Murthy

 

I’m from “Space monkeys!”
I’m from bookshelves
I’m from theme songs
I’m from my parents, obviously.
 
I’m from donuts
I’m from “Wait up guys!!!”
 
I’m from everyone I’ve met and known.
I’m from ocean to desert and caverns and more.
I’m from places I’ve never been before.

Selle luuletuse kirjutas 9-aastane Henri, kes elab South Carolinas.

Henri ujub, harjutab klaverit, talle meeldib lugeda ja malet mängida. Malevõistlustelt on ta koju toonud ka auhinnalisi kohti.

Koolis on Henri “viieline” ehk “A-line”, sest siinmail antakse lastele hinneteks tähti.

Veel meeldib Henrile loomaaias käia, eriti meeldivad talle seal roomajad ja saarmad.

Ema, isa ja Henri ühiseks koduseks ajaveetmise viisiks on lauamängude mängimine.

Teadmishimuline poiss tahaks muuhulgas õppida tantsimist ja söögitegemist, aga päevad kipuvad kõikide huvide jaoks liiga lühikeseks jääma!

Kui perel vähegi võimalik on, sõidab Henri kord kuus koos ema ja isaga Atlantasse Eesti Kooli.

Ema Kairi õpetab seal eesti keelt ja kultuuri. Henri loeb tihtilugu eestikeelsest raamatust teistele õpilastele katkendeid ette, sest ta oskab väga soravalt eesti keeles lugeda.

Loodame, et varsti kirjutab Henri luuletusi kahes keeles!
