I am, I can, I will

The following poem represents a small portion of who I am. This style of poetry is called free expression and gives the author a way to express who they are in a poetic style. Remember this is just a sample. Follow the basic format of beginning and ending each stanza with the words I am, I can and I will. In free expression poetry you DO NOT have to rhyme. Be creative and have fun!




My example:

I am, I can, I will

I am the future I teach
I am here for you if you reach
Reach out and take my hand
Divided we fall together we stand
I am...


I can help you to succeed
But I want you to take the lead
I can be by your side to catch you if you should fall
If you have a problem all you have to do is call
I can be there in your time of need
I can...


I will introduce you to literature, grammar and public speaking
I will show you how to travel to far away places
I will unlock your mind and fill empty spaces
I will listen, discuss, scaffold and debate
My main job is to educate


And I will, I can, I am
