Young Writers Camp - Oakland: I am from Smoothies

I am from Smoothies

I am from smoothies
Raspberry Rage, from Juice Appeal
The cool, refreshing tatse makes my tastebuds dance

I am from pesto creppes
Especially the kind my Dad makes
With his homemade pesto, for special occasions

I am from the ivy patch in my yard
Where Sarah and I spent hours removing the ivy
Just to make room for a clubhouse that never got built

I am from the fig tree
Where Margit and I climb to escape
And I get nervous each time I look down

I am from Bissy
My cousin who lives back East
We laugh and swim, eat and read

I am from Maria Paz
Who I hardly ever get to see
But when I do the language barriers come down

I am from Bishops Ranch
I ony get nine prescious days there each year
But those days are heavenly

I am from Chile
Where my Mom and I have a second family
That we rarely get to see
