I Am From Poem

I Am From  Brooke M

I am from a spacious house with freshly painted white walls,

From a dead paddock filled with long dry yellow grass.

I am from lots of big trees,

From watching loads of vehicles from my big window whizzing past my house.

I am from doing flip after flip on trampolines,

From waking up at six thirty for early morning hockey practice.

I am from playing tennis three times a week and

From winning ribbons at orienteering races.

I am from going on family bike rides

From walks up Te Mata peak.

I am from playing Rippa Rugby then going to Nationals,

from watching Hi Five,Dora The Explorer and Mickey mouse when I was little.

I am from going on trips to the beach

from eating ice cream on hot summer days.

I am from eating pineapple and watermelon

And playing hopscotch every day.

We have been writing all about me poems.Here is my piece of poetry.
