I Am From

I am from hair extensions, music
and great tasting food.
I am from basketballs, volleyballs 
and athletic games.
I am from bi-polar weather,
such as sunshine and tornadoes.

I am from red, white and blue stripes,
that is the country's colors.
I am from a military strong, bullying
other places in the world country.
I am from a big, successful, money
hungry country.

I am baked potatoes, full cooked steak 
and corn on the cob.
I am from doctor pepper, ice cold Pepsi,
and sprite.
I am from Burger King, McDonald's
and Wendy's.

I am from great family, friends 
and animals.
I am from having fun, being tired 
and late night movies.
I am from pools, sports
and laughing a lot.

I am from my Mom, Dad 
and two cats named Max and Harry.
I am from wind that howls like the moon,
a cat that barks like a dog, 
and house that smells like glazed candle's.

  7. Aliyah,
    I think that was fantastic! It was genuine and honest! I think your stanza about your pride in the country was very well worded.
