Where I'm From Poem--Monster

Abby Olberding

Devon Schweitzer

I am from cameras

from basketballs and a fridge

I am from the old brick house.

I am from the dandelions

The sycamore

Whose long gone limbs I remember

as if they were my own

I’m from sleeping and large feet

from Jerry and Dad

I’m from twitching and sniffing

and from laughing.

I’m from Easter Bunny and Santa

and Mary Had a Little Lamb.

I’m from baking cakes

I’m from Harlem and Africa

Potatoes and turkey

From Jerry wanting to me my sidekick

Also known as Robin

The pictures of me as a young baby

on the wall and in my mother’s heart.
