Where I'm From



I am from parents
two loving, supportive parents
two fun-loving older sisters
one playful, large golden retriever

I am from a cozy home
from the large oak tree in the yard
I am from the clean,
laundry smelling home

I am from the chaos
from the bonding moments
I am from movie nights
from Sunday family dinners

I am from parents
two caring, compassionate parents
two amazing older sisters
one joyful, loving golden retriever

  6. I can't explain how much I love this! Any post that someone writes about their dog, I will love even more haha. I think this poem is very creative, and we get to see "where your from". Its funny how just a short poem can tell a person so much! I can tell you love your sisters, and your parents. I know you have a golden retriever you obviously miss, or you wouldn't be writing about him. I can also tell you grew up in a nice house, with a big tree in your yard, and probably a nice neighborhood! I loved reading this!!

  7. Tanner, I really enjoyed reading your poem. I also did a blog post on this mentor text and it's fun getting to read another persons poem. Your poem really gave me a feel of what your life is like and where you are from. I also liked how you used subtle repetitions thought out the poem. Really well done !

    At first glance I didn't know what this was going to tell me, but it told me quite a bit about enough. All the important things in your life you hold dear. Great way to tell us where your from.
