Where I’m From
I am from fishing poles and skiis
From Moosehead Lake and Trackxs
I am from the farm next door and the country fields
I am from the bass in the lake, the red squirrels that get in my Grampy’s shed
I am from cabin camping at Moosehead
and snowshoeing and ice fishing
I am from Shane, Cory, Ethan, and Cole
From Minchim, and Pottle
I am from tag games on the lawn and video games in my big brothers room
From “Don’t chew with your mouth open” and
“Say please and thank you”
I am from Maine, and hot tacos and Bison hamburgers from the grill
I am from Cub Scouts, and Martial Arts,
And the trophies standing on the shelf over my bed.
Really awesome!! I really liked the part where you talked about the squirrels. Your descriptions were right on. It's really hard for me to try and find something you could work on because I truly like the whole thing. I think you have a nice voice for poetry. I suggest that you should write some more.

I am from stuffed toys,
From iPods,
And Gameboy Advances.
I am from the rustling pine needles in the downward sloping back yard.
I am from the raindrops on the pedals of a daisy.
I am from long nights playing Cribbage and bad dancing, from Aunt Jenny and Melissa and Cassie.
I am from the breakfasts on Sunday afternoons and old music in the car.
From "if you eat too much you're stomach will pop like a balloon!" and "clean your room!"
I'm from a hospital in Maine, and artichokes and kumquats.
I am from a long hallway holding pictures of family, lit by the light of our future.
