I am a caring person
I am nice
I am respectful
I am a movie fan
I am a toy player
I am water flowing
I am wind around people
I am a good person
I am a teacher cousin
I am a gmail kid
I am a my space fan
I am a web
I am a virgo
I am a friend
I am some kind of stupid
I’m not skinny
I’m not a girl
I’m not perfect
I’m not a teacher
I’m not a teenager
I Am Poem
by Salvador S., age 12
I AM A BOY.
I AM NOT BORED.
I AM NICE.
I AM NOT A SELFISH BOY.
I AM CURIOUS.
I AM NOT EVIL.
I AM SMART.
I AM NOT MEAN TO MY SURROUNDINGS.
I AM INTENT TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES.
I AM NOT LAZY.
I AM MY LEGO TOYS.
I AM NOT GOOD AT HOMEWORK.
I AM MORE SKINNY THAN FAT.
I AM NOT A GOOD EATER EXCEPT AT THE CHINESE BUFFET.
Inspired by Nikki Giovanni’s poem “Woman,” I asked the students to write poems talking about the things that they are, and the qualities that they possess, both real and metaphorical. Marisol’s poem is below; more to follow.
My I’m
Marisol D., age 12
I’m a sun
I’m not too perfect
I’m a bright star
I’m not that dumb
I’m a sunflower
I’m not a smelly fish
I’m like the sea of course
I’m not that smart
I’m a sky
I’m not the grudge
I’m a little cute
I’m not a model
I’m a smarty-pants
I’m not a nerdy
I’m kind of fat
I’m not skinny
I’m athletic
I’m not lazy
I’m so cool
I’m not bored
