A Poem inspired by The Important Thing by Margaret Wise Brown

The important thing about chocolate Is that it tastes soooooo good! It’s like heaven resting on your tongue You can bite it You can let it melt in your mouth It isn’t sour It is sweet And it makes me happy. But the important thing about chocolate is that it tastes soooooo good. The important thing about music is that You can dance to it. You can’t sit still But you can tap your feet And wiggle your bottom And move your head But the important thing about music Is that you can dance to it. The important thing about family Is that you can rely on them You can laugh with them And you can cry with them And it’s fun to tell family stories But the important thing about family Is that you can rely on them.

Where I'm From

I am from Pillsbury cupcakes, from t.v. dinners and "Boogie Fever". I am from birds of paradise, sloping front lawns, and a duplex filled with family. I am from gag gifts at Christmas and "the Murphy Look", from Charles and Mary and the Mitchells too. I am from the creative and the strong. From "you'll be a clown when you're paid to be a clown" and "you're the only child I put on this earth!" I am from new thought and ancient wisdom. I'm from Los Angeles and Africa, smoked turkey and boxed stuffing. From the high school romance of my mother and father, their divorce and "but I love him!" I am from intelligent and beautiful women, loving uncles, and cousins more like siblings. I am possibility in action. I am peace. I am a spiritual being ever learning, ever expanding, ever evolving. I am love.
