PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am from the month of August and the sign of Virgo.
Mississauga General, 1980 Fowler Dr, and that gap in time.
I am from the corned beef, cream corn, and scalloped potatoes.
Atari 2600 and 700 in 1 games for Nintendo.

I’m from chess pieces, the eight ball, the laughter, and tears.
The sun, moon, planets, and stars. Including the plants and animals.
I am a part from the musicals “Les Mis” and “Phantom.”
I am from the honey lemon and ginseng, painted toes, and warm clothes.

I am from the order, the chaos, the overdose, and the recovery.
I am from the past, present, and future.
Also I am from my hopes and fears.
The first hug “Hello” and last kiss “Goodbye.”

I am from the first solid knot in a friendship bracelet.
The notes and words from many different songs.
From today’s hereafter and tomorrow’s yesterday.
I’m from all the antiques in my Grandmother’s room.

I am from the cold brisk nights of Winter and the crisp breezy days of Summer.
From the warm painted sunsets of Fall and the cool misty sunrises of Spring.
I’m from the lightening and thunder, the pink, and black ribbons in my hair.
I am sprung from the hate when all the love is gone.

I am from the memories and the ones to come.
From Animé in the margins of my notebook.
I’m from the love of my mother, my father, and will always be.
I am from all of these and many more.
