Proud of Lilli's poem for 7th grade English: 

I am from parakeet feathers

From blankets big and small

Pink curtains in my room that match the green wall

Stuffed animals piled high

And clothes fit just for me

I am from quails

From dry grass in the front yard

Little white tails on deer

And green apples that grow on a tree in the front yard that have a sour taste

I am from bikers wearing colorful clothes

From houses mostly yellow and brown but mine is a light blue

Old mean neighbors

And cats, orange, white, and black

I am from Sadie my cousin who is just the most fun to play with

From Nate my other cousin who has a wild spirit but is so sweet

And Asher the smallest of the Wayne family who just wants to play and be your friend

I am from chill out

From okie dokie artichokie

And see ya later alligator

I am from peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Honey bunches of oats our favorite cereal

And muffins from Safeway

I am from the blue ball park in Santa Cruz

Orchard School the best place on earth

And my back yard

I am Lillian Wayne
