I am from a garden of trees
A forest of vegetables
Where deer trails lead to imagination
And imagination led you deeper into the forest
I am from the taste of dirt
The vision of blue and green
Constantly overlapping as I roll down the hill
I am from the Summer sky
Where nights are filled with fireflies
I am from Rice that fills half my plate
While sounds of sports and different languages
Echo in the background
Mingling with aromas of meat and soup
I am from Our Father and Hail Marys
Amen I say to you
I am from church every Sunday
No matter if I'm sick or blue
I am from colds and flus
Where parents constantly trade
Your turn to sleep with her
She's coughing again, I'm afraid
I am from imagination!
When it's the parents turn to feel blue
A lion, a unicorn, a friend or two
Chairs are now trains
Marbles have their own community
And nutcrackers turn into princes
In my head or out of bed
Adventure is unlimited
I'm from a castle when I'm alone
With parents its called a home
I'm from Do Your Homework!
Stop Looking at the Trees!
And from Pay Attention to What I'm Saying!
Enough With the Daydreams!

DampKitten12 days agoChange your past tense (led) to present tense in your 4th line. That's a continued sentence with changing tenses.
Otherwise, this piece is absolutely perfect and certainly one of your best efforts. Repetition is a key poetic element here. I'm impressed how you use it, and I like following your focus... your poetic mind's eye. You take me somewhere, and I like to travel.
