I Am From . . . Poems

I am from toast and jam.
From pudding my mom makes
And candy
Melting in my mouth.

From baseball and soccer.
And ice skating
In the winter.

And candy apples
Sweet and crunchy.

From bears and wolves
And warm and cold
Sunny and cloudy.

From chicken pie
And cream pie.
Yummy treats to go.

From hot
And animals
That are cute.

From fudgesicles
And water
Wet and cold.
I am from Canada.
Where the weather is wet and cold.
And I live in the city
Not the country.

From ice cream and cake
And trifle
Mushy and white.

From beavers and moose
And hockey and basketball
With nets and hoops.

I am from licorice and cotton candy.
From ice cream
And lollipops.
They are good to eat.
I am from Canada.
From lots of lakes and lots of farms
Where it gets very hot in the summer
And I like to swing on my swings.
*Kaitlin*

I am from pizza and subs
At Hot Lunch.
And juicy apples
In apple crisp.
I am from Canada.
From biking around the block
And rollerblading
After school.

I am from pears and apples.
From chocolates and cakes.
And bike riding around the block
In the fall.
I am from Canada.
From playing outside on the playground
And football, soccer and basketball
With my friend.
*Phoenix*

I am from chickens and candy.
From my house
And eating french fries
And cookies with chocolate chips.
I am from Canada.
From hockey and soccer
And skating
On the ice with my family.

And carrots that are yummy.
From ice cream
And chocolate.

And snow
Soft and white.

To see the animals.

I am from chocolate and pears.

Candied at the fair.
And I ride on the merry-go-round.
*Julia*

I am from grapes and pears,
And a root beer float.
From a bus driver, a mechanic
And a chef in the kitchen.
I am from Canada.
From wild geese and strong moose,
And forests
That are gentle.
*Linda*

I am from licorice and sour candy
And ice cream in a cone.

From Canadian geese and cold lakes
And gondola rides in Alberta-
Cable cars in the mountains.

And gobstoppers
That are sour.

From cookies
And cakes
Good.
I am from Canada.
From fun and great
And riding bikes
When I wake up.
*Tristan*

I am from bobby sox and hula hoops
And from rollerskates with keys.
From dresses at school,
And patent leather shoes
Shiny and black.
I am from Howdy Doody with Buffalo Bob
And Clarabelle after school.
From The Friendly Giant
Whistling for Jerome through the castle windows
After getting the chairs ready for me.
I am from uncles and aunts and cousins
Picnicking every summer,
Being tanned from the sun
Spending every day outside, playing,
From morning until well after dark.
I am from Saturday morning movies-
The serials, the cartoons for a quarter
From Saturday walks to the library
To see, to smell, and to read
To my heart’s content. To dream.
*Mrs. Rastin*
