Harmany: A Student Anthology

Mr. Gowdy 6th Grade Where I’m From I’m from American Idol,

With a touch of peppermint

From guitar and flute

With ten songs I have memorized all by myself.

I am from red velvet cupcakes (Which taste the best with cream cheese frosting.)

I’m from Jack and Janet’s Branch, tenderloin and potatoes,

I am from the big oak tree,

From the internal bleeding

The rose bush

Of my great uncle

Which I can still smell

To the eye my nana almost lost.

As if it was in this room.

I’m from Land Rover and BMW,

Under my bed is a wedding dress

From Moo and Olivia I’m from the, “Would you like some cheese with that whine?”

That belongs to my mom, A bunch of memories That fit together like a puzzle.

And the make believes,

I am from those moments

From Whatever! And OMG!

Memories still to be told

I’m from “The First Circle”

With Everything on a Waffle.

By Michelle Strauss 6G Dedicated to my Nana who is always there for me.
