i did a poem in my reading class so here it is:
A Kim Tree...
I am from dust and ant piles in my backyard growing to the clouds. From nights with a bright light from the sky hitting the brown figures that sway with the wind.
I am from skeptical things to big things. Picking up leaves in shades of brown and yellow to red and orange. I am from Kyou Ho Kim and Yu- Kyeung Kim, And from cuddling my bear till it turn to stitches. A baby life filled with "µÕµð"or "pig". I am from camping with Christ. I am from 10100 Westpark Dr. with a ten almost falling off and dirty windows cleaned with Clorox.
Apartments filled with creepy insects that are big, small, black, brown, fat, and skinny. I am from "Mommy this one is brown and this one is black. Aren't cockroaches interesting?" To "Mommy there's a cockroach on my arm!" filled with horror and fear.
I am from those painful moments when I was just watching as the wooden stick, struck my hands. The horrifying moments when I am filled with shock of not being able to speak or understand this unknown language. From a class filled with people who can't speak English. The sweet scent in the air as I walked in unsuspectingly of the things that were happening.
I am from a whole past of a Kim line. I am a twig from a huge tree just waiting to snap off, to go to another tree.
