Poems

I am chicken, beef and rice.
From cookies and brownies.
They are oh, so sweet.

I was born in Leesburg, Florida.
From cold days to hot.
And on winter days, it is freezing like an ice cube.

By: Ivyann

I am from chocolate, brownies and cake.
From chocolate, brownies and cake.
And from the melted chocolate icing.

I am from Florida.
From beaches and water.
And the sunshine.
Made for light on the Earth.

By: Haley

I am from bacon, eggs, and cheese.
From chocolate bunnies with half an ear.
From pumpkin pie and apple pie.

I am from the sink.
From Clorox bleach and Windex.
From makeup in a box.

I am from rose bushes.
From banana trees.
From apple trees.
From inside the shade.

I am from Florida.
From the beaches and the trees
Filled with green leaves and branches.

By: Mary

I am from Dawn soap.
From carrot cake and pie.
I am from our house.
I am from the tree in my backyard.

I am from Thanksgiving and Easter.
From Kim, my mom and the Walters family.
I am from "No, go to bed."

I am from Florida.
From a very hot and very big place.
And the mockingbird.
It's the state symbol.

By: Devin

I am from my bedroom from my shoes and my dresser.
I am from my noisy and quiet home.
I am from the trees.
I am from very tall trees.
I am from ham and turkey and from my mom, dad and sisters.

I am from the nice and ordinary.
From "If they jump off a bridge would you?" and "Stop acting up!".
I am from Florida. From mom when she got in trouble when she was little.
I am from my closet where I hang my clothes.

I am from corn, cake and oranges.
From brownies and candy sweets.
I am from shopping and cleaning the house and yard, picking up my toys.

By: Brittney

I am from steak and corn and pizza.
From ice cream and brownies.
And grapes because they're sweet.

I am from Florida.
From oranges and kumquats.
And mockingbirds nesting in the trees.
Blooming like a flower in the breeze.

By: Lisa

I am from pork and bacon and sandwiches.
From strawberry cheesecake.
And a cake, but only half of it.

I am from Columbia.
From the cold rivers to the lakes filled with fish.
And the roads filled with cars.

From the top left lip not there and which dog did it.
I am from the sunflower, the much liked kind.
I am from eating dinner early and all middle sized men.
From Gloria and Fernando and the Gomez's.

I am from the garage of memories.
I am from the warm house of mine.
The outside is sort of a pale color.

By: Gabriel

I am from apples, watermelon and pears.
I am from sour skittles and chocolate.
I am from the United States and hot places.

I am from my mom who was a kid in Massachusetts.
I am from the electric guitar!
I am from the sour taste of my pet died.

By: Stephen

I am from a cloud.
I am from bleach and Bounty.
I am from Massachusetts.
I am from a thorn bush in the thorniest things.
I am from my birthday, from no's and timeout's and sign in's.
I am from a hospital.
I am from a dragon in the mountains being slayed.

I am from fire and from ice.
I am from the ocean and from the birds that sing.
And the sweet smell of watermelon.

I am from my best clothes and the Playstation 3 that I am getting.
I am from books and games.
A gator in chains.
I am from movies from cars from Earth to Mars.

By: Jacob

I am from cars, math and Pokeman.
I am from the sometimes angry mostly happy home.
I am from the sunflowers and dandelions.
I am from my mom, dad and sister.

I am from the noisy and nice family.
From lovebug and honeybug.
The names my mom says.

By: Cody

I am from turkey and ham.
From honey buns with a beautiful taste.
I am from cheese and ham from cherry cheesecake with sweet taste.

I am from gas and machines, from cars with tires.
I am from chicken and meat, from sausage and bologna with a hot flavor.

I am from New York.
From cold and lights out.
And snow, a lot of snow.

By: Braely

I am from corn, turkey and mushrooms.
From carrot cake and Cheeze-its without corners.

I am from Massachusetts.
From snow and frozen solid rivers with fish.
From Dad without two fingers and the tornado Mom was in.

I am from playing and movies.
From the corn and the potato.
Nice and mashed.

By: Zachary

I am from chicken, ham and pizza.
From ice cream and cake with frosting.

I am from Florida.
From schools and buildings.
And classrooms filled with kids.

I am from the quiet people, shy people.
I am from the from the grass, the green and brown grass.
I am from the know it alls and tattle tales.

I am from Christmas and black hair.
From mom and grandma and uncles.
From "calm down and be quiet".

I am from Florida.
From manatees and hot days and no snow.
Because it is never cold enough.

By: Omar

I am from the washing machine.
Bounty and Clorox.
I am from a baby whining and crying.

I am from lots of trees and flowers too.
I am from going to theme parks once in awhile.

I am from mom, dad and sister.
From baby niece and my sister's best friend.
I am from an organized family.

I am from no and yes.
I am from rice and beans.
I am from silly stories of my mom and dad.

I am from Florida.
From parks and beaches.
And buildings.
Big giant buildings going to Orlando.

By: Christian

I am from steak, bacon and sushi,
From anything chocolate,
And anything with caramel too
As long as there's no coffee flavor in it!

I am from Clorox, from washing dishes as a child
And Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!
I am from the messy, lived-in house, noisy with pets and clocks
That gets cleaned, but never stays that way for long!

I am from Florida
From gentle manatees, citrus trees big and small,
And awesome southern winters
Where it is warm most days!

I am from German ancestors and pork and sauerkraut.
From boxes of photos in the attic
And shopping bags of great grandparents' pictures
That I scanned and organized for my Grandfather.
I am from scrapbooks and StorybooksŠ
That I have made, full of both new events and old family photos.
