I am from...

first perfessional poem i wrot in 9th grade in english. its about me being adopted. also i wrote this in school thats why i finally was able to format some of my writing.

I am from people who are strangers to me

 

From people who's faces i don't recongnize

 

From people who only knew me for a short while.

I am from a unfamiler place. A plce with a large glass window through which adults look at me

 

I live with people who are not related to me.

 

I do not look like them they do not look like me.

 

I am from a family who did not have me, but gave me a chance to be a part of THEIR family.

I wasnt really a foster child but I didnt really have parents either thanks to no good of an excuse for a father. After the age of 10, I spent time with his parents who raised me until they died most recently. I felt like an adopted child.

I enjoyed this, nicely done.

I was raised in foster homes. Taught me to appreciate friends and the family I found down the road in a long life. I understand this poem. I learn good friends are the diamonds in a life. People who will support you in bad or good times. A very good poem. Made the reader think. The goal of a writer. A excellent poem.

Sad and very straight forward description.

Sad, lovely and easy to read. I however, would like to see you explore your vocabulary a little further throughout your writing. Look into more diverse adjectives.
Still a very nice poem regardless.

Okay, 3rd try! I don't know why my reviews aren't posting. Sorry if they all show up later. This poem is good as it stands and should remain untouched, unless you want to put it into a "then and now" perspective with your thoughts now placed under each line you penned then.
