Ashley Skambraks Poet Bio

I'M From

I’m from dirt roads, and crackling fires,
from long drives, and happy lives. 
I am from family dinners and fantasy grinners,
I come from raw beginners and flawed winners. 
I’m from where the dusk of evening approaches and streets lights flicker alive
I come from chore deadlines and unfair bedtimes,
I’m from hair bows and scraped knees.
I come from hard workers and brave supporters. 
I am from those moments of serenity,
and those of complexity. 
I am from sweet tea and sweet Jesus.
From long drives, and happy lives,
I come from family roots and muddy boots.
