Poem #36

Books I'm From I am from Moby Dick from searching for something new And going on an adventure I am from The Outsiders (inspired, dramatic it encouraged me to Understand before judging) I am from The Chrysalids the character, David, whose kindness Helped the entire group. I am from life stealing books from The Book Thief Liesel and Max. I’m from integrity and the ones willing to be treated fairly. from Under The Blood-Red Sun. I’m from The Landlady with irony and trusting when life seems unpredictable. I’m from the boy, the mom, Laetitia, and the police officers, Discrimination and knowing who you are. From staying strong to overcome a border officer, a few nights in a car, and being on the news. the pages of Borders keeping me up late at night. Under each book on my TBR pile was another book calling my name a wave of interest to pull me into the pages.
