Day 25 - Write About Yourself

Write About Yourself poems are an opportunity for you to plan and dream about the future or to just reflect on your life.  We will be doing Someday Poems and Window poems today.  




Directions:  Write one Someday Poem and one Window Poem.
Someday Poems:
Begin each line with the word Someday... and complete it with a wish you have.  Make the first two or three lines say something about your everyday wishes and slowly move away from yourself to the world in general.  You may end the poem with the word Someday....
Student examples:
SOMEDAY...

Someday I will play the guitar
Someday I will have a job
Someday I will get married
Someday I will have kids
Someday I will be rich
Someday I will be noticed
---Adam Duritz (Grade 7)

One Window Is All I Need... Poems:
Begin your poem with the line One window is all I need...,and continue to write about this imaginary window in a personal way.
Student examples:

---

One Window Is All I Need

One window is all I need
To see what lies ahead for me
To lose myself in love
For a connection to my inner world
To see myself for who I am
And be able to make changes.
---Billy Corgan (Grade 8)

One Window Is All I Need

to see the world
to reveal myself
to imagine adventures
to return to myself
   and live.
---Glen Phillips (Grade 7)
