Autobiographical Poem
Write an autobiographical poem of 10-20 lines. Note that this poem need not tell us everything about you; choose what you want to show us. (You need not tell us anything you do not wish to reveal either.) But you might tell us the places you have lived, the things you eat for breakfast, things you’ve lost, etc. For help/suggestions/inspiration, re-read the three autobiographical poems for this week (the ones by Chen, Ran, and Esteves.) Please DO NOT use the template floating around the internet that has a “formula” for an autobiographical poem. That is NOT what I am hoping to see you do here. (In other words do NOT do this: http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/portrait.html) If you get stuck, try starting with a first line like one of the sample poems. You might start with the year you were born, as Ran does, or with an image of your birth, as Esteves does, or by comparing some aspect of your personality to something as Chen does (the speaker in that poem hopes to someday “be as fearless as a mango”)
