I Am Venice

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: I Am Venice
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan

I am
Venice -

I am
a 
west coast

oceanfront 
town -

I am 
the one

who
sing
and dance,

on the 
boardwalk -

And
I'm 
the one

who fly's
kites

roller skate,
fish
and surf -

I am
a
muralist,

I  paint
pictures
of
legends

on 
the city
walls -

I'm a
greeter

that
waves
to
visitors,

I say
welcome,

whether 
you're

large, tall
big 
or 
small -

I am
Venice;

every color
in 
the rainbow -

I am
culturally
diversified -

I am
everything 
that
I am -

Free spirit

sophisticated,
with 
a
quirky charm -

I'm
an actor,
artist,
comedian,
entertainer,

street dancer
poet
play write 
and
painter -

I am
a 
liberal arts
paradise -

I am
Venice -
