Lets Write an I Am Poem Heres how

Let’s Write an “I Am” Poem!

Here’s how it works… • The beginning of each line is provided for you. Finish each line in a complete sentence. • You can choose to tie all of your lines into a theme, or you can choose to make them more random. • Your poem can be serious or funny.

For Example: I Am I am a frog freak who loves to cross stitch. I wonder who will become the first woman president. I hear chocolate calling my name. I see Marvin the Martian aiming his gun at me. I want to visit Australia. I am a frog freak who loves to cross stitch. I pretend my dog Smokey is still alive. I feel his soft fur tangled in my fingers. I touch the hand of the poet Robert Frost. I worry that I will run out of words to express myself. I cry during sad movies. I am a frog freak who loves to cross stitch. I understand that my actions affect others. I say everyone deserves a chance to succeed. I dream of walking through Shakespeare’s London. I try to give gifts from the heart. I hope for a world without violence. I am a frog freak who loves to cross stitch.

Now You Try! I Am I am (2 special characteristics). I wonder (something you actually wonder about). I hear (a sound you hear, an imaginary sound, or a future sound you hope you’ll hear). I see (something you see now, an imaginary sight, or a future sight you hope to see). I want (something you really want). I am (repeat line 1). I pretend (something that you actually pretend or pretend will happen in the future). I feel (it can be emotional feelings or something you feel physically). I touch (something you can touch now or dream of touching in the future). I worry (something that you worry about). I cry (something that makes you very sad – seriously or silly). I am (repeat line 1). I understand (a life lesson or knowledge you have that others may not have). I say (what you would like to say to the world or your personal motto). I dream (a current or future dream for your life). I try (something you work really hard at). I hope (something you hope for). I am (repeat line 1).
