Where I’m From
I am from playing my Ps3 and listening to my iPod
From buying games from GameSpot
I am from playing video games and working on Gizmos
I am from digging in the dirt and collecting rocks
I am from traveling on holidays
And listening to family comedy
From Lisa, and Tom, and Tommy
I am from entertaining Si -Fi movies
And driving to South Portland
to visit the comic book store
From “Don’t do drugs” and
“Don’t play with guns or knives”
I’m from the hospital in Portland, from hot dogs and Fanta orange
and hawaiian pizza
I am from the wall in the living-room where pictures
of family trips are hanging

ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome poem! You used great details in it and they all flowed together so well. The only thing that I noticed you may want to change, is when you say, "And listening to family comedy." Why it is family comedy? Overall great job, I really enjoyed reading this.
ReplyDeleteLike your poem, I wrote one similiar that I'll share with you.
I am from music blaring iPods, from nike sneakers and abercrombie shorts. I am from sitting by the warm fireplace in the winter. I am from the big soccer fields, the freshly cut grass. I am from sitting by the pool every summmer and loud converstations at dinner, from Jim, Kerry, and Cortney and Claudia. I am from the coffee and donuts every sunday morning and sitting outside in the warm summer sun. From "Use your manners" and "I love you more." I'm from a small town Maine town, grilled turkey burgers and sweet potato fries. I am from the framed photos sitting on the coffee table.
