Where am I from?
I thought this thought the other day.
Full of wonder and want,
and never growing smaller.
I thought and thought,
and came to this.
I am from many things,
made only by the past
I am from the six years spent,
five hours every week,
which has shown me what to seek.
Look for truth, and loyalty,
is what karate taught me.
I am from the building blocks
that took so long to place.
Creation and creation,
came on to every space.
I am from the songs I wrote
that can only speak my mind.
The words do ring like a bell
to the melody inside.
I am from the tree
that has always stood to be.
Looking out at the land,
I finally understand.
I am from everything I have seen and been.
I am from my choices and mistakes,
my past and all the aches.
I am from my sorrows, and all the read tomes.
I am from a place, that only I can call home.
I like your rhyme scheme and the last two lines.
ReplyDeleteWith your six years of karate and my 9 weeks, we are the protectors of the school! Good job!

ReplyDeleteI love how you started off your poem with a question, but ended with an answer. It's a lovely transition and flow. You did a fantastic job. My favorite stanza is the very last one.
ReplyDeleteI liked the tone in it and how you rhymed.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool how this poem was more of current personal thoughts and reflections upon your name, it's a different style compared to what most everyone else did. (You started with a recounting of what your name meant to you.)
