( this poem reads from bottom to top)
That make the world go round
The flowers are ideas of the children
The branches produce flowers
It’s curvier than mine because she is a girl
The second branch in line is my sister’s,
Grows crooked, with my changing personality.
But now that I’m almost a teenager my branch
Started straight as a baby and in elementary school,
The branch grow a little at a time,
I was the first branch to sprout
From the trunk the branches sprout out
When they married this bond formed the trunk
Parents are the roots of my life
The roots provide food, water, and stability
Starting with the bottom,
Families make the world a better place
Like the Cherry Tree,
Blossom trees bloom
Each spring the Cherry
My Family Tree

I love the bottom up arrangement of this poem - as if the family tree was growing upwards!
I LOVED this poem - very creative
I am Ryan’s Grammy Beck. It is a wonderful experience being able to watch a grandson grow as a complete young adult. This poem illustrates to me the depth of love Ryan has for his “family tree” and his ability to articulate this so beautifully. Thank you for this opportunity. Sincerely, Kay Beck

What a surprise to read a poem starting from the bottom. Loved it. The analogy worked. So you have a changing personality. Smiles.
leafs rule
i like the idea of it from bottom to top
I think you have alot of guts for expressing how you feel but the poem didnt make much sense to me personally
AWESOME POEM!!!
Great poem Ryan! You were very creative with the structure of your poem! The way it goes from bottom to top makes me think of when I’m looking at a tree and first you see the roots, then you get to the trunk, and so forth. Also, you did an awesome job at connecting parts of a tree to your family. Hey, that actually makes sense calling it a family tree. COOL!
