Where I am from

I am from the old sneakers that have seen many games,
The ribbons and medals that cover the walls 
The jerseys, the Irving’s to the Durant’s 
The numerous basketballs covering the floor 

I am from Sports

I am from the tree houses
The rivers,
The hills that felt like mountains to us back then
The rocks and sticks that made great swords and bombs back then

I am from Nature

I am from the countless comics
The Potters to the Jacksons
The 5th grade book report challenge that was so easy to win
The stories that took days to read

I am from Books

I am from the rock chalk to the jayhawks
The Phog and the Allen
The camps in the dorms
The 13 in a row Big 12 Champions

I am from KU

All of the memories are kept all over the walls of my room in all of my pictures,
Banners
Art
Posters
This is where I am from

I like how you arranged the stanzas. I also like the last stanza

I like your stanzas! Also, I didn't know some of the things, like "Jayhawks", but I think it is good to have something that people don't know, and I could see the personality of the person. I like it!
