Where I’m From is a poem by George Ella Lyon that has become a popular poem to mimic. I got this idea from Zarah Parker – Memoir of a Writer.
The title is pretty self-explanatory. Write a poem (or in whatever form you want) about where you’re from. (Here’s more about it.) Let me know if you try it out!
BERLIN
I’m from a city split in two.
I’m from a disorderly
MP – hung-over,
working his assignment
by the wall.
I’m from a pretty, insane
blonde German
girl who caught
the eye of that uniform.
I’m from the connection
of their bad choices.
I’m from an alcohol-fueled
tryst, an act of
jealousy-inducing sex.
I’m from the place
of pastries named
after what I am.
Ich bin ein Berliner.
A very interesting story indeed! Thank you.

I ❤ Berlin..!! I really do..
To me, Berlin has a mysterious soul. A spirit which is indomitable. A people who have pulled out a feat which is virtually impossible. A City, which whose rise can make even Phoenix gasp in wonder..!!
Ich liebe BERLIN.. ❤
