So in AP English III we were assigned to do a poem. Now, Dr. Shelton didn't give us much more than the title "Where I am From" and how many lines it should consist of. Literally, that's all. So, I'm sitting here, quite frankly not knowing what the hell she wants to see... end result:

"Where I am From"

I am from a raving gene pool
Consisting not just of DNA
But of musical notes and melodies

I am from two journalists' dreams
Nursed by love and beautifully written verse
Weaned on Twain and C.S. Lewis

I am from center stage
Whre the spotlight is always attentive
Speaking fact or fiction of geniuses past

I am from an actress' heart
Following in her footsteps wtih a slight twist
Holding tight a close relationship

I am from the North's noisy great streets
Traveling West with trees
And then South to continue such dreams

I am honestly hoping this is something like what she wanted.
I admit it isn't all that great.
Not many people will get it...
1st stanza- musical love and how it runs in my veins
2nd- mother and father and their influence on me
3rd- my love for theatre
4th- my sister and such
5th- my family is originally from New York State, then Iowa, now here Mississippi.

Well, I need to head to bed.
Actually I have to do some reading for Latin.
