Where I'm From Poem

For humanities class we wrote a poem about where we are from, below is my poem that I wrote.

Where I’m from Poem

I am from a big white house in sunny San Diego

With sounds of planes

and little birds flying up above me

To sounds of fireworks bursting in the night sky

I am from the home of the Chargers

From watching football to playing sports

Where the game is always on

I am from a loving Swedish mother

and a caring German Vater

From a tall older brother

to two big German Shepherds

I am from eating home cooked meals

To happy hour foods on gameday

From tasty tacos to cold sandwiches

and 711 lime slurpees

I am from scattered dog toys

and little rubber bands found everywhere

From Charger gear hanging from every wall

I am from a Charger family

Where silver and black is not accepted

From unexpected losses

To “There’s always next year.”

From meeting football players at Ralphs

Like the kicker Nick Novak

I am from breaking bones to shooting guns

To making origami of birds and stars

From collecting football memorabilia

and drawing beautiful random sketches

I am from listening to K-pop

to K-rock

From Super Junior to LEDapple

and Donghae to Hanbyul

Abbey’s had me listen to it all

I am from many things

From K pop to origami

To shooting and watching football
