Corpus Christi in the southern region of the United States Named by a Spanish explorer, Alonso Álvarez de Pineda, and mates. As he discovered the lush semitropical bay, an American city on the Western Texas coast; Christian feast day of Corpus Christi. The city’s name means, body of Christ; a place of my birth, A coastal city in the biggest state of Texas on this earth. Corpus Christi of North America, is known as the "Bird Capital," A city that has a humid subtropical climate, to some very unvital. North America a country of the free and the brave; Fifty states surrounded by an ocean coastal waves that voices rave. Beaches almost paradise that brings joy, semblance of normalcy; Just feels like one can breathe from all the abnormalcy. In time for a very hot, very immunized summer rhythm, Oceanside of much-needed thrilling escapism. With cold drinks, toes scrunch in the sand; In a beach day with a lot of laughter and getting tanned. 5/31/2023 'Glorifying your birthplace/country through poetry If Your Birthplace-country was a poem Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon

Great place to be born Eve. I would love to see all the species of birds. My wife Judy feeds them, loves them, and she loves the Hummingbirds. Have a wonderful day Eve...

I lived in Oregon for about 38 years. There is where I met Roper. He will be back home to Texas to be with my dad but my dad died a few months before we could get here.

Eve, I like the perspective used, North America and the surroundings. You are from Texas, a cowgirl who loves country music perhaps? Enjoyed, best of luck in the contest! ~Anaya

Hello, Anaya, I was never a country girl even though my grandfather owned 3 ranches with the whole western works. But I do love some country music. Like cute , little Keith Lionel Urban, mostly classical music. I am very old fashion and very Catholic.
