2025 3rd-4th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

I Am From 

I am from the slice of the peppers from the kitchen and the bubbles of the carrots boiling in the
hard, steel pot on the stove. 

I am from the gentle chuckle as my sister, mother and I flip the pages of our favorite books with
curiosity that shows on our faces. 

I am from the afternoons that are filled with munching on saltines and laughs of my book,
washed down with a cup of icy water. 

I am from the amazing smell that wakes me up in the morning and brings me to where the
delicious scent is brewing in the kitchen. 

I am from fast songs and impressing dancing. 

I am from the loud laughs and curious faces when I raise both of my eyebrows individually. 

I am from the amazing feeling of freshly sharpened pencils. 

I am from all that came before me and all that follows me after.
