Where I'm From Poem


Where i’m from I see the waves bump up and down like hills
Dipping my feet in the sea I’m looking out for boats
I reach back in for shore and see birds fighting over scraps
All I hear is giant waves crashing into the sand
I smell smoky barbecue coming towards my face

Where i’m from i can see my mum making a lot of noise in the kitchen
I see my mum cooking us dinner in the kitchen
I see u my mum making us nachos for dinner
I see people enjoying themselves eating MC Ds
I see some boys on the playground eating some chip

Where I’m from I hear the crowd like they are cheering for WILL.I.AM has entred the school.
I hear my brothers playing on the trampling like they are Michael jordan doing a slam dunk.
I hear the birds like they are singing a song
I hear people saying happy birthday like they are the crowd cheering the all blacks

Where I’m from I am taste is my middle name
I taste the salty sea water in my mouth like i have never had water for three years
I taste the salt of the hot chips that tangles off my tongue
I taste the sauce that it dribbles down me that came off my hot dog

  3. Hello Levi -
    My name is Jennifer Hamrick and I am a student at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. I am earning a degree to become a teacher and part of one of my assignments is to read your blog and comment on it. I want you to know how much I liked your poem. Every sentence that you wrote, I could picture it in my mind. You used great descriptions. I look forward to coming back and checking on your blog and seeing what else you write this year. Good luck in school.
