Poetry anthology

Introduction
Where I'm from
Sometimes cold sometimes hot
I am from big forests growing in the back yard
Trees beyond trees and never know when it ends
I am from big family Christmases and thanksgivings
With lots of food and meeting new people every year
I am from Lake Tahoe
Going there every summer
For the Fourth of July, reuniting with people
And spending lots of time on the beach
And having amazing seats to watch fire works in the boat
I am from arguing over everything
With my siblings but knowing
That we all love each other and that
We depend and care for each other.
Sonnet
Such a powerful word
It is as beautiful as a white dove
Almost seen as a blur
Love comes all from the soul
It is my parents love
That you can't control
Which I am Proud of
It is her pride
That makes him smile
And catch his eye
With her style
This is a beautiful thing
That is much more than a fling
Narrative
It's what I depend on
Whenever I am sad
Or mad
I go play soccer
It takes my mind off of things
And helps me focus on being positive
I work hard at it
And when I do I have success
It is mostly what I think about
Because that's what I love
