I Am Poem & Sense of Place

I AM POEM

I am Dove in English, and Paloma in Spanish

I am a younger sister

I am from my mother and father

I am a lover of experiencing culture through traveling

I am a free spirit

I am a believer in hugs

I am a listener, not a talker

I am friend to many

SENCE OF PLACE

Down in the South Valley, where there are fields of alfalfa growing is a pink house with a blue tin roof.

Inside the pink house with the blue tin roof there is a family of four enjoying each others company.

Outside, four horses and three dogs enjoying the Albuquerque blue skies that turn into radiant sunsets.

As the years have gone by, the horses and two dogs no longer live there. And just like the horse and dogs, my sister and I have moved on.

The pink house with a blue tin house will always be my sence of place.
