Fill-in-the-Blank Poem

 Fill-in-the-Blank Poem

Inspired by “Where I’m from” by George Ella Lyon

 

I am from a hashtag.

From Western movies and old newspapers.

I am from optimism and procrastination,

I am from a deep cave that loops around through the mountains. No matter how lost one gets inside, you can always find your way back out if you keep moving forward.

 

I am from the snow at 0 degrees,

From homemade pizza and crockpot chicken on Sunday afternoons.

I am from the eagle with two heads.

 

I’m from the movement you should join or else you’re part of the problem,

And Living on a Prayer.

 

Even here,

I am from a river,

The place over which the eagle flies.

Doubt not, fear not.
