I Am From
I am from games all over the floor,
From Xbox and Connect Four,
From Monopoly, Money and Sorry,
And my homework done in a hurry.
I am from a two story brick built home.
From a garden filled with flowers from Rome,
From kids playing on the yard,
And a tight security door guard.
I am from Waffle House and Chick-fil-A,
From Coca Cola every single day,
From the cars all covered in pollen,
And trees with leaves that have hardly fallen.
I am from the red, white, and blue,
From the president and his crew,
From Lady Liberty standing tall,
And the great American sport, football.
I am from struggles in Brazil,
From dreams that must be fulfilled,
From the blazing heat in Ecuador,
And independence from conquistadors.
I am from a soccer gifted family,
From soccer practice daily,
From dreaming to be on that stadium field,
And scoring the goal to keep the game sealed.
I am from home.

That was really good. Good job, I liked the ryhming and the flowers from rome part. Really good job!!!
Marcos you wrote a very good peom and really enjoyed reading. I liked hearing where you were from and that you were a soccer family. Great job and keep up the good work.
I read a short story by Lenna called Burning Pain. She was from Maryland and I thought that overall her story was really interesting and sad. I could easily visiualize what was happening . The story was really sad but keep up the good work.
The second story was by Maureen from Marylona. Itwas really scary and weird. But it was still very descriptive and good. There was a lot of killing and depression.
