A Renaissance
I am from the flags with 5 stars
Of the colors, gold and red.
I am from the birth of an arranged unity
Of a man and woman.
I am from the fourth of six children
one that was born a female.
I am from the white rice and long chopsticks
we count on for survival.
I am from the dragons and drums
During a new year.
I am from the red envelopes that
Brings great happiness.
I am from the ni hao's and the xie xie's
That represents manner.
I am from the metal object that flies across borders
That feels like nights.
I am the result of a brand new beginning
In a mysterious country.
I am now the flag with 50 stars and 13 stripes
Of the colors red, white , and blue.
I am now the schools of the perfect teeth people
With sky blue eyes.
I am now the birth of diversity and race
That represents countries.
I am now the fireworks
And scary faces during a holiday.
I am now the promotions and green
That brings greed.
I am now the growth of a bud to a flower.
Or am I?

I love your poem !!!
I liked how you wrote what you are and then what you are not.
Also I liked how at the end you questioned yourself.
In general I think your poem should be published in some important magazine.
