I am…

I am the rain on a perfect day, slowly falling and running down my winter.

I am a moose running through the woods, careless, free, and fast.

I am confused and fearless, a follower and believer.

I am a KFC addict.I am my parents’ kindness, coming back

from work.I am the thunder which clashes over head

as rain falls steadily.

I am…

I am bright and bold, like yellow socks with pink pants.

I am the controller to my console.I am a raindrop in a thunderstorm.I am water flowing down a river.I am money, I buy my happiness.

But first, we are going to pick apart his poem “We are More.”
