Poem From Atlanta
I read this poem on a student’s blog from Atlanta. I found it through Space, the online litterary magazine for our english class. I liked the way the author took details from the environment around her, and turned it into a poem about where she is from. One of my favorite quotes from the poem is from the author’s description of her room:
“I am from music blasting from speakers,
From piles of shirts, shorts, socks, and sneakers
From every wall, you see a picture
And laughs and memories are within these mixtures”
I can relate to the imagery here, because my room is somewhat similar. It’s kind of like a window into her life. I like the way she turned things so regular and simple into meaningful and descriptive poetry.
