I Am From...

I am from a strong sensitive father

and a quiet unassuming mother.
An angry sister and
a swimming cat named Panda.

I am from the Green Hornet, the Red Baron
and the Magenta Mustang
cleverly disguised as a Mercury Tracer.

I am from raspberries, cherries and rhubarb
Root beer blowing up in my sister's eye.
Snickerdoodles for world peace

I am from the farm~white~solitary-
violets and lilacs
lady slippers and snowball bushes.
Cartwheels for ruby red lifesavers

I am from snakes and snapping turtles
Angry chickens and birthing kitties.
Girls don't hunt until they are married

I am from gorilla ballet-
grope and sway-
bloody toed two stepping -
and finally
"what beat?."

I am from
Love,
High Expectations,
Laughter
Integrity
