Where I am from
By Nisha
I am from the beaches of
Minnesota, swimming in swimming pools, playing with friends and having sleepovers.
I am from the jungles of
India, the Rainforests of Africa, the tiny forests of my house.
I am from Webkinz World, watching TV, the fireworks of 4th of July and waking up after dreams.
I am from Christmas, Easter, Halloween, New Years Eve and Valentine’s Day.
And I am from a leaf of my family tree.
Nice poetry. I like the pictures you painted with your words. I wish it was longer because I liked reading it.
Nisha,
The best phrase in your pieces is the “jungles of India…” It makes the reader think in broad terms then when you say “the tiny forests of my house” it makes the reader zero in on what your home. Very clever! You have neat things to say, so I hope you keep on writing!
I learned a lot about you from reading this. You painted a very interesting picture with your words.
