I And The Village
This poem is inspired by a painting named I and The Village.
The world has shifted
I never thought it would happen
The fight has begun
people are hungry
And nothing in place

I am from my dance studio where they sell little toys and snow globes. I am from the vending machines that never work. From that dressing room where we tell jokes and stories before class starts. I am from my dance studio.
I am from Camp White Pine where I always have the best summers of my life. From the glass studio where I spend most of my time. The one that has my name written on a plack. The summers that I have the best time of my life. I am from Camp White Pine.
I am from Mount Tranbla where I go skiing. From the wind in my face, to the t-shirt place where I made a sweatshirt. From the maple syrup on a stick. I am from Mount Trambla
I am from Willow Ridge. The country club that I go to. I love the pool and the ice cream Sunday. I am from Willow Ridge
I am from crocheting. I could sit in my room and do it all day long. I love it when I play an audio book while I crochet. I am from crocheting.
I am from Canada were I always want to stay a week more. I am from my cousins that always fight over who sits next to me. I am from Canada.
Here is an exert from my narrative that I recently wrote:
As I was thinking about my plan, I heard the motorboat again. “Oh, no, it’s back again,” I thought. As I started to slow down, the boat turned and the driver stared at me. Then I started to paddle as fast as I could because I did not want to experience another boat. When I reached the sand and saw all my friends, I was so glad to see them. Most of them did not even know what I did. But they would figure it out. When I saw Umi, she was smiling. I knew she was up to something.
I was at my country club and I snuck candy. When I was walking it fell out of my pocket. My mom saw, and the next thing I knew I was seeing her eat my candy. My favorite candies are Air Heads, Sour Patch, and chocolate. I love to dance–Hip-Hop and Acro Jazz. I also do Remix, which is a dance company. Once when I was at Acro Jazz on a Tuesday we saw a box of tutus so we went all around our room saying tutu Tuesday. I have turned my brothers thumb blue. When I was younger my siblings and I went down to the basement and went to the costume box and we danced around the kitchen. We almost knocked the food over. I have never been grounded. I love when my grandparents come and visit. I am getting three new baby cousins. My favorite place to be is Canada. I like to do art projects to decorate my room. I have stapled my thumb.
