I took composition this semester and one of the assignment is write a poem about you. Thus, I am going to introduce myself by a poem, "Where I am form..."
“Where I’m From” Poems
I am from one of the pearls that spread out in Pacific ocean.
I am from Kuroshio Current who takes creatures to visit and killed bunch of people want to offend.
I am from no where until Nautical age and gave a name called FORMOSA.
I am from Spain, Holland, Zhang, Qin for the amenability.
I am from indigenous, Han, Hakka that mixed together.
I am from the forbidden island that was blockaded for centuries until Sino-Japanese War.
I am from Japan from rebellion to consent
I am from KMT that retreated in 1949 and named me as ROC
I am from Taiwan that bled in 228 for freedom.
I am from the consciousness of oppugnant, exaggeration, and restless.
I am from the mountain, the sea, the modern city and local town.
I am from Amis, Dao, Taya, and Bunun, the real master of Formorsa
I am from hustle and bustle that non-stop till the late night.
I am from fast speed life style rushed all day long
I am from people who wants to escape but others want to jump in.
I am from the island rooted in variety,
Nourished with tribulation
Matured with diversity.
