i come from

I come from...   
                            A generation of
Screwed        teens
And
Cell phones.

I come from…

The     ghetto...


I come from…
A playful child hood a loving mother,
And a drug dealing father

I come from
17
Siblings
I come from
Losing             my       
Grandfather

I come
From
Fake        friends


I come      from
Love
I come from

Hope

I come from care

I      come from
Life…

The poetic device that I used was litany. Litany is when you repeat something in your poem in each line. Example, if I wrote a poem and used the word “we” in the same spot in every line (beginning, middle or end) that would be litany.
The writer’s strategy I used was punctuation. Punctuation is what makes your sentence better, whether it may be a period, comma, or question mark.
