Kisses and Popsicles Spring Poetry Contest

2007 - Second Place Winner: Jon Carr


Where I Am From

I am from a well-known place,
The town of loving brotherhood,
I am from the city that decided,
The laws for our country,
I am from a place of tall oak and maple trees,
And a garden of flowing vegetables, fruit, and bees

I am from the freckle faced,
The red haired,
The majors in school,
I am from the high-class carmakers,
And the beer fanatics,
I am from a war veteran,
And a poor living society,

I am from a split-up family,
An uncaring father,
But a loving dad,
I am from a constant working mother,
I am from from lives lost past and present,
A grandmother and grandfather raising me in chaos,
I am from a hunter and gatherer family,
Moving in each direction as we live our lives.
