I Am From

A poem about me!

I am from a place where they march in threes.
A place that's surrounded in tall palm trees.

I grew up in that place and was there for a while,
Until I moved to a place that had more style.

I am from the school yard where Greek mythology we would play.
From a home where I slurped pasta and played Candy Land all day.

I am from shyness, quietness, and liking to be alone.
I am from music class where I learned how to play an xylophone.

I am from my stuffed animal collection which I still have today.
From wearing plaid skirts, boots, and long dresses all day.

I am from Berstein Bears, High Five, and Elmo.
Dora, Oswald, Little Bear, Arthur, and The Upside Down Show.

I am from hopping on rocks and walking at the creek.
From my English Cocker Spaniel, Fenway, and feeding him each week.

I am from reading, enjoying my homework, and loving school.
From being obsessed with fashion and always looking cool.

But no matter how old I get, or who I choose to be.
No matter if I stay where I am, or choose to follow my dreams.

No matter if I'm rich, poor, or even middle class.
I will always remember my precious memories that were built upon my past.

I really liked the rhyming in this as well as the coherent picture you have provided my mind with. The words were crafted oh so beautifully providing some good sound.

Great job.. Im always a fan for great rhymes and this piece pulled it off magnificently with the exception of the the last 2 stanzas.. "class" and "past" doesn't really cut it for me in terms of rhyming but it is common for rhyming poems to have a part that does not rhyme to draw more attention to it.. In your piece you decided to put in the last stanza which contained the core message of the poem.. for me the message of the piece is " who i am is the sum of all my experiences "... very inspired work!!!
