Ever wanted to write a poem?

Okay- I found this- And it was a real treat to write... First i am pasting my poem, Then i am pasting the format so you can write your own poem...

I am from cinnamon apple candles, from Cascade and Dove Soap.
I am from the small family home, with a chain link fence, and ferocious if you don’t know him, and loving if you do – dog. With small child and tall child hanging Christmas decorations in the biting wind out front, while husband curses and I just laugh at the familiarity of it all.
I am from the Roses the richest red velvet, so exclusive that man cannot make it
I am from Sunday matinees and hazel eyes from Uncle Blaine and Two Mama and of course The Packs.
I am from relaxing in front of the TV and questioning the validity of life.
From the Easter bunny on Easter, the tooth fairy who took my teeth and Santa Clause
I am from Mother Nature, The moon that watches over her, the fairies that take shelter in her woods and create glens, From energy and light that are ever present, gently guiding each step we take and keeping me in tune with where I need and want to be, I am from miracles, they continue to amaze me no matter how many I have been blessed with, and angels that watch and whisper in our deepest sleep truths and comfort. Remembering kindness, for every act of kindness is a ritual to something bigger than me something kinder than me. Beauty.
I'm from the California and from chicken rolls served at Sunday dinner.
From the first day of kindergarten when he turned to me to say goodbye, the time that she decided not to be pushed around and pushed back, because she was done being the victim, and she has been victorious ever since, even when they held her in the “detention room”, and the era of wanting mommy, both of them in my bed on a rough night, one on my feet, the other at my side.
I am from the mantel where their pictures are proudly displayed, and hung next to it on the wall in the largest size I could afford is the four of us. Never a more complete package, never a bigger variety of spirits living together… in harmony… and often in discord. I would like to tell you the immeasurable worth of these portraits… but if life as I knew it halted, it is not the pictures I would crave the company of, but those they captured.
I am from black boots, from nachos and dark purple merlot.
I am from the love sac, and the trampoline in the backyard- Perfect for gazing at the stars or tickling the laughter right out of their rambunctious play. From seeking solice in my “Cupboard under the stairs” or seeking it in books about the “Cupboard under the stairs”. From microwaved dinners, and tear jerking homework frustration. I am from Freddy Kruger, and vampires, as well as the exorcism of Emily rose. Girl interrupted and Star Wars.
I am from the Sage the wonderful smell, dried and wrapped in purple string, waved around in the air, letting the scent fill us, and make us feel safe.
I am from campfires and smores in the backyard and slow metabolisms, from Janice and Dave and his father, Dave too.
I am from the fears and short tempers, but love and happiness also.
From playing boggle and mahjongg
I am from inspiration and truth I have learned to stand in them.
