Where I am from poetry

As part of our 'get to know one another' week, we have composed original poems entitled 'I am from..'. We used the poem of the same title written by George Ella Lyons as a model. As we finish, poems are being posted onto individual blogs- check them out, they are amazing!
Amber has kindly allowed me to share her efforts on the class blog.

I am from capturing every moment,
