Where I’m from – inspired by George Ella Lyon

Where I’m from

 

I’m from Tonga,  the hot Island that

Has trees full of coconuts.

Going to the beach with golden sand

That is hot like the stove cooking

Hot soup.

I’m from jumping off the hill into the

Sea – now it is cold. I’m from the rain

Like tears coming down from my

Little brother Bing who is sad because

His stomach is rumbling.

I am from  an earthquake

Splitting the world apart from island to island.

Shaking like water inside the

Bathtub, 

I am from travelling to Hawaii.
