Where I'm From
by Caroline Peery
Inspired by George Ella Lyons
I am from Takodah,
from birthdays with family.
I am from the maple
in my front yard,
From Emily Dickinson
and Anne of Green Gables.
I am from brownies and ice cream,
from Lily and Kathryn,
Josie and Ellie,
Henry and Daniel,
Emma and Isla.
I am from trees never climbed
books never finished,
and drawings hung up on my wall.
This is really cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was really fun to write.
DeleteCaroline, love your Where I'm From poem! I have read a number of Where I'm From poems inspired by George Ella Lyons, and I've also written at least one myself. I like the format, and I like what I learned from reading yours.
