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

ReplyDeletehere for you and here to stay
to talk to you and to help you

I can make you smile
and i can make you cry
but best of all
I can be here to say
never be sad and always stay away
from the fear that likes to come
and stay
I will help you
in time of needs
i will help you of
times to get free
but best off all i will
always be a friend of need
