Sione's Shadow Poem

"Where I'm From"
Inspired by George Ella Lyon

I am from X-Box 360's
From swimming pools and movies
From houses with tv's, instead of old wookies
(Star Wars)
From theaters not operas, with Chewey's not corn
With guns and bullets, not crossbows and swords
With doors to open, not covers to lift
The music where I'm from is from Taylor Swift

I'm from the big and the small
the short and the tall
There's ten of them, and I love them all
It's big and it's white
It's dark and it's light
I'll love this house, even after it falls

I like the house, and I'll miss the noise
But I won't like or miss the kids crying for their toys
The grass in the back, I'll miss the lawn
I never missed anything until it was gone
