Haiku poem - Tapa Cloth

Haiku poem - Tapa Cloth

Today we were drawing our symbols on a piece of paper with some crayon then ink it on the tapa cloth, now we are making a hiku poem about it this was my poem.

The sun is burning
The tree is tall and very high
The eel likes swimming 

After we did inking, when they finshed drying we did charcol on the paper after it dried, and what we did with the charcol was outlining the lines on the crayon and colouring some of it to blend it and to make contrast.

100 Word Challenge

This incident happened a while ago these people ended up stopping to see something that was coming. When they stopped and got out of the car they saw a polar bear?! Or was it a bear..? Well anyway that was unexpected, they got scared so they all ran back into the car except one guy he got locked out accidently. Now it looked like they were playing games like: Duck duck goose, Tag, or like who can keep their hand on the car longer it looks a bit funny, or he could probably be the bears lunch.
