A poem we did in class (:

Where I’m From

I am from Gilmore Girls, and diet Coke, from video games at night, and my phsyco cat.

I’m from my siblings Blotchy, Spammy, Napin, and Hardino. I am from close family nights, to distant best friends.

I’m from houses on highways, and tiny suburban backyards, to a 1 and a half acres, and a barn. I’m from a small tomato plant to a garden the size of my classroom.

I’m from Cornwall, and Sudbury. From Bonnechere, Ferrin’s  Point, and Manitoulin Island.

I’m from homemade pumpkin bread, banana bread, cornbread, and artisian bread. I’m from hoochy-coochy chocolate cake, and from classic French desserts.

I’m from jumping Den’s Pocket (a 30 foot cliff), from potlucks, from heavy metal, rock, and indie music. I’m from Lumber Jack, to Azalia the Homely Jackalope. And I’m from making Samuel, Samantha.

I’m from laughing, loving, lying, leaving, learning, and living.

And I’m from keeping a smile on my face the whole way. (:
