A Small, Quiet Town Where the Trees Move Quietly, by Khloe Broussard

I am from a small quiet town where the trees move quietly and the flowers blow swiftly across the grass while people who are happy go on a run or walk on a cool sunny day by night the raccoons dig into people’s trash for food or some scraps that people don’t eat or don’t use.

 I am from a row of houses with different colors like blue ,pink, and some yellow. 

I am from a relaxing bedroom with floating shelves where I watch TV on the weekends.

 I am from tall ceilings, crickets chirping by night, and the smell of plug in Hawaii flowers. I am from a world where planet Earth is a better protected place for humanity. 

I am hoping that my dream will become a reality.

 I am from wanting to become a famous singer.

 I am from wanting to drive, having a family, starting a business and making a name for myself.

 I am from a dream to go around the world and see the Statue of Liberty, meet Beyonce and become a millionaire.I am from lots of vegetables – zucchini, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, broccoli and much more.

I am from salty and not sweet – pretzels, chips and popcorn.

I am from teriyaki chicken with honey to make it sweet, and Japanese rice on the side.

Black eyed peas at Sunday dinner with my whole family, along with cornbread and Rice-a-Roni. I am from a family that celebrates Christmas, gathering around the tree and passing out gifts from our Secret Santas, and a Christmas party with lots of food – cake, pumpkin pie, apricots, chicken with rice.

I am from rows and rows of cousins and aunts and uncles.I am from the sound of laughter and warm smiles on everyone’s faces.

I am from Christmas cards and cousin’s making dinner on Christmas dinner for everyone in your family.I am from a place where people call me Khloe or Khlo Khlo and even Penelope 

I am from a place where I am called lots of different things 

I am from singing endless songs

I am from talking and laughing always is the end
