I’m From “I Love You” And “Piano Time!” –– Poems @Avondale Logandale

I’m From Ecuador and Peru
From the history
From strawberry and mango
From the idea of ice cream
I’m From tacos and Sunday
From the delicious flavor
From cake and milk
From good eating

I’m From Chicago and Ecuador
From tamales that we eat on Sundays
From dancing and learning
From “I love you” and “Piano time!”
I’m From books and jokes
From the silly things my mom did when she was little
From Doris and Gerson
From laughing without stopping
I’m From rice and Taco Tuesday
From the smell of perfume
From “I told you” and “perfect timing”
From old times and nice memories

I’m From Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
From Chicago
I’m From pasta and chili
From Olive Garden

I’m From tamales and rice
From Jennifer
From New York and Chicago
From swimming
I’m From cake and cornbread
From Miguel
From Colombia and Puerto Rico
From dancing

I’m From California and New York
From tamales
From swimming and lilac bush
From cake
I’m From Mexico and Canada
From posole
From dancing and trees
From tamales

I’m From cake and New York
From swimming
From squirrel and Jesus
from lilac bush
I’m from tamales and posole
From Jesus
From dancing and rice and beans
From Maria

I’m From Shanell and Chanell
From chicken
From music and movie night
From blue sky
I’m From love and sleeping
From laughing
From Jacob and Emily
From laughing

I’m From mac and cheese
And I’m the smell of deliciousness
From Chicago and Puerto Rico
From dancing and singing
I’m From books and notebooks
From San Diego and Ecuador
From fun and creativity

I’m mom and mom
From mom!!
From mom!! and mom!
From mom!! Ok
I love my mom
she is like a flower in
a pot
