Where I’m From!

I’m from napkins 

From forks and spoons. 

The flies in my tree house. 

(Green, glistering, 

It tasted like beans.) 

I know the fresh cut grass smell 

The Oak trees 

Long-gone limbs I remember 

As if I did not climb them. 

I’m from pizza and art, 

From Carol and Jorris. 

I know the annoying know-I-all’s 

And the gossipers and the rumor spreaders, 

 From the Speak up! And Quiet now! 

I’m from Shawn and Jen’s branch, 

Roast beef and mashed potatoes and gravy. 

From the hearing my grandfather lost 

From work. 

I’m from the good times with 

Mia and Maria. 

From that time, I fell in the cafeteria 

At the time Mia fell with a white shirt. 

I ‘am from looking after 30+ cats 

For one of my chores. 

From the times they pee on me to 

 the times they have babies. 

I am from my grandma’s awesome 

Pizza with steaming hot cheese. 

From burning ourselves to burning 

The pizza but luckily it was 

Not that burnt.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 By:Tessa
