Where I am from Poem

November22

Where I am from

I am from a different country

Where the language is unknown to most

Where the biggest part of my family is from

Where snow falls by the meter

I am from a unique family

Green eyes is my specialty

Blond hair is a secret my brother and I share

I am from under a red roof

A stone house

Plain but beautiful in it’s own way

And an explosion of different shades of green around

I am from the need of chocolate

To being nervous to speak in front of a crowd

I am from getting angry at my brother with a snap of a finger

To doing things that are excruciatingly boring like homework

I am from sadness

The pain I felt when my poor, 18 year old uncle died

The agony I felt as when my forehead got cut open

I am from a favorite place

The comfy, snug living room

With the chocolate brown couch

And the hot, dry Texan sun shining big and bright

    I am your grandmother

    I am waiting for that snow

    I wish you were here to await that magic moment

    I know that you will know lots of magic moments

    I see, a warm home, love, respect and lots of

    CHOCOLATE!

    I love you, Grand-maman

    Very moving Izadora! And so honest. Do you write poems often? You are very talented. Thanks for making my day more beautiful. I miss you.

    A very moving and comprehensive portrait of YOU – brilliantly written. It so poetically and sensitively describes the Izadora we know and love. As your uncle Graydon had the gift of music, so you have the gift of expression – how unique a talent it is, and we are very proud of you.
    Love – Pops and Grandy.

      Thank you. I love writing, but the funny thing is that usually these kinds of pieces are not really expected to be so good. Usually I just do it to finish an assignment. I really like all of your comments they are nice. I appreciate that you guys visit my blog and comment. Love y’all 🙂
