House of Estrogen

"I Am From" by Elise

Elise wrote this poem in language arts. I loved it so much that I asked her permission to share it here. She gave me the obligatory eye roll but consented nonetheless. It makes me smile.

 

I Am From

I’m from glasses

From Target and iTunes

I am from the house painted blue

Green, Purple

Smelling cookies

I am from ever greens

From tulips

Whose smell makes me all happy inside

 

I’m from Christmas Eve PJ’s

And Pizza and a movie night

Nina and Addie

I am from dinner with the family

 

From school before jump rope

From practice makes perfect

I am from treat everyone the way you wish to be treated

 

I am from Pocahontas

Apples and bananas

From the glasses I lost in the front yard

To the scares my dad gets from biking

 

My hard jump rope practices 2 days a week

The thrill of performing in front of people who have never seen jump rope

The breath taking experience of competing

 

 

Snowshoe, Picture A Day, Day 1

Since we are 9th and 10th great-granddaughters of Pocahontas, we couldn't resist taking a picture in front of the Pocahontas Supply Company sign!  Snowshoe Mountain is in Pocahontas County, WV.
