American on the outside, Norwegian on the inside

I am physically a girl from America
Blonde hair, Blue eyes, my Fair skin
Might try to tell another story.

I am Norwegian inside,
have never visited before, but my parents
speak highly of it

I am of Norwegian background
but English is the only language I am fluent
I eat American food,
Follow American tradition,
My blood is all that speaks otherwise.

  1. As I am Norwegian too I can definitely relate to this poem! Do you eat lefsa and ruspeclube on special occasions, and have family members with fabulous names like Gunnar and Gunhilda too?
    You have met three of the 5 Cs (clear, concise, courteous), but could use a bit of work on complete and correct. Our heritage is a beautiful part of who we are, use descriptive details to describe it, and figurative language to bring it to life! :)
