Found Poem while cleaning
I took this amazing workshop last year on performing and poetry. At the end we wrote our own "I Am" poems:
I am this murky Bayou
that is breathless at sunrise and sunset
I am this fais do-do Dance floor
that we stamp, stomp and sweat on
I am a Cher Amie
A dear friend
Whose blood does battle
because I hail from Nova Scotia and Texas and England and Africa
And I have come to realize that I am 1/3 Colorado, 1/8 Texas, 1/4 Hawaii
but my whole soul is Louisiana.
