This is a poem I had to write last year for my English Class... I wanted opinions on it.

Where I'm From

I am from herbs,
from lavender and rosemary.
I am from the shells lying in the sand.
(Intricate, delicate
shining in the ocean spray.)
I am from the Lady Fern,
the Coastal Redwood
whose majestic limbs reach into the sun
taking the heavens in their grasp.

I'm from ice cream and lemonade,
from mint chip and cookie dough.
I'm from the arched neck,
and the rippling muscles,
from powerful hooves pummeling the earth.
I'm from the lives that were saved
with an accurate diagnosis
and the veterinary career I once strived for.

I'm from Popeye and Olive Oil,
spinach and salads.
From the tender loving care
given to me
the warm embraces saved 'til the end.
Within a strong mind
well-known faces flicker by,
images fresh and clear
hidden memories appearing within dreams.
I am from those moments,
Growing young and strong,
Taking on the challenges of life.
~Dec. I do enjoy food enough that it keeps me going. XD Some listed, was just my favorite foods, the other was going off of 'popeye' as he ate spinach and stuff... 'popeye' is also my grandfather's nickname, so there's double meanings. Writing and poetry are what I consider to be my one true talent. Thank you. ^^
