Where I'm From - Poetry

Can you be precise and specific in your 'Where I'm From' poems? Look at some examples below. How will you make your poem unique?

“I’m From the Woods….” by Nick

I’m from the woods and the creek behind my fence
From the gray wooden backyard deck.
I’m from the honeysuckles,
The pear trees by the neighbor’s garden


From the creek when I swing over it.
I’m from the yellow walls of Grandma’s kitchen
From the Yorkshire pup, the coolest thing in my family.
I’m from macaroni pictures of the Ark


From “I just can’t snap my fingers and make it happen”
and from David the Gnome in summers long ago.
I’m from my mom’s side of the family,

From roasting turkeys for each holiday,
From when Papaw yelled at his boss and got fired
From the family pictures in the big wooden cabinet and
From the family gathering when we drag them out.


I am from those moments.
A root that no one sees, but walks all over
An important part of the tree.”
I'm from all the places that makes me, me.
