Body Brilliant.

I broke my ankle :’(

My teacher gave me this outline of a poem when I was having a bad day. She told me to follow its guidelines, put it away and look at it again in 6 months.

FIRST STANZA

I am (2 special characteristics you have)

I wonder (something of curiosity) 

I hear (an imaginary sound)

I see (an imaginary sight)

I want (an actual desire)

I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

SECOND STANZA

I pretend (something you actually pretened to do)

I feel (a feeling about something imaginary)

I touch (an imaginary touch)

I worry (something that bothers you)

I cry (something that makes you sad)

I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

THIRD STANZA

I understand (something that is true)

I say (something that you believe in)

I dream (something that you dream about)

I try (something you really make an effort about)

I hope (something you actually hope for)

I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

My version:

I am beautiful and understanding

I wonder what my future holds

I hear people cheering

I see my new condo, downtown vancouver

I want to be successful

I am beautiful and understanding

—————————————————-

I pretend I know what I’m doing 

I feel glitter raining down on me 

I touch lake water between my toes

I worry I wont follow my dreams

I cry that no one will love me

I am beautiful and understanding

—————————————————-

I understand I have to work for what I want

I say “you are who you choose to be”

I dream of being financially secure

I try to be motivated 

I hope I meet the man of my dreams

I am beautiful and understanding.
