Where I’m From
I am from twirling Batons and pedaling unicycles
I am from rainbow Skittles, Target, and Gap
I am from the white snow that blows
the red roses growing in the garden store
From the venus fly trap I watered, and the sunflowers near my cousin’s house
I am from the yellow dandelions in the field, the green trees I climb
I am from the rollercoaster at Funtown and salty fries at the Topsham fair
From Tina and Matt and Taylor
I am from bike rides down the tar road,
and walking on the path.
From “use nice words” and “keep your hands to yourself”
I am from Maine, and pepperoni pizza,
from the grilled cheese that nana makes
I am from picture books filled with memories
Hey Hannah!
