Looks like today's a poem day

Couldn't help but write this poem about home, recently. Being at Iowa State has really made me more appreciative of my state and all of the wonderful, genuine people living here. I've learned to never underestimate the Midwestern folk! Hope you enjoy. :)

I am from Iowa.

I like my open spaces,

My spirits rise with the corn,

I live for friendly faces.

I take pride in my work,

Am grateful for what I have,

I am Iowa stubborn,

But there’s nothing wrong with that.

My smile’s always beaming,

I treat others with respect,

I live by a set of morals,

And sit more right than left.

I sing to pass the time,

Always keeping myself busy,

I eat until I’m full,

Meaning sweet corn ‘til I’m dizzy.

I love where I live,

These people are sincere,

Our communities are thriving,

People raise their families here.

I’d say that I’m well-rounded,

Try to think before I speak,

Always looking for new people,

Making the most of every week.

I am from Iowa,

And I’m oh so proud to say,

That this is my home,

Wouldn’t want it any other way.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon!
