My Poem

"Tattoos On This Town"

There's still black marks on that county road, where we drag raced our pick-ups and mustangs
And weathered all the sun and rain
And to this day up on that overpass, even underneath the new paint, you can still see,
"Allie, will you marry me?"

Take a ride, look around
There ain't no doubt

It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this town

There's still a rope burn on the old branch, that hangs over the river, I still got the scar
From swinging out a little too far
There ain't a corner of this hallow ground, that we ain't laughed or cried on, it's where we loved,
Lived and learned real life stuff
It's everything we're made of

It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this town
Like tattoos on this town

Everywhere, it's where we are
It gets me right, in my heart

It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here, with everything we did
We laid a lot of memories down,
And we'll always be hangin' around, like tattoos on this town
Like tattoos on this town 

My Poem:

We like to drag race our pickups

We would purpose to people bye writing things on bridges

There is a rope burn on the branch over the river still

This is were we learned to love and love to learn

We left the mark on our town

The whole world will know we were here

So we left tattoos on this town




Parallel Poem:
Me and my friends like to drag race our trucks

We always like to go to a river to have fun

We love this place because this is were we learned to love other people

Me and my friends have always left our marks

This is why everybody knows use

So we kind of left our tattoos on this town.
