Jumbled Tanagers and Tangled Jumbos


  If you like twisting words, there's another art you might be interested in: poetry.  Poets are artists because they draw pictures in the minds of their readers by artistically combining carefully chosen words.  On the next pages are two poems that I twisted together.  They are "guess who" poems about African animals.  The titles are the names of the animals in Swahili.  See if you can "guess who" they are in English.

HAVE A FUN READING EXPLORATION!
