My mother is calling me, Bark! Bark! The dog is very

Strong, hungry.
The Scary TIGER dreadful,
मेरी माँ I am hungry, fearful, The cows are saying “moo, moo”
कतनी भोली I am scary, colorful,
कतनी शांत I am a meat-eater, The hunters tell monkeys “shoo,
कभी हं साती No one can take me down not even defeating bad people, shoo”
कभी रुलाती a hunter, training,
दूर ना मुझसे I am faster, sleeping, Oh what a wonderful natural zoo.
रह पाती | I live in a jungle, flying,

What Is Poetry?

A poem is a snapshot of a feeling, the same way you might use Snapchat to
capture a picture or video of a moment that you really like. Often people
write poetry to express deep emotions like love or admiration or to purge
feelings of loneliness
Poetry can be a wonderful a way to express your feelings
 I Am Poem

I am poems are an exploration of the poet. This

might be an exploration of their character, likes, or
even family.
To write an I am poem, you need to be ready to talk about yourself
and who you are. You might use imagery words to define yourself
or to illuminate descriptive personal traits.

While you might use an I am poem to talk about yourself, you can
also create them about a hypothetical or imaginary character.
Explore a few original I am poems by Jennifer L. Betts below.
I Am…
by Pepper C.

Me, I am like a shooting star,

everyone cannot miss me,
I stand out with my hair and eyes,
clothes and words,
yet I do not stand out in a bad way,
I stand out as a shooting star, a wonder to all.
Me, I am like a magnet,
always pulling things close,
in this case people. Me, I am me,
I will never release what I grasped, like a shooting star, like a magnet,
I have many friends and family I love, I stand out.
I pull like a magnet, never letting go. I always accept a friend,
I’m special in my own way,
I’m kind and love everything,
I stick out, and am a wonder to all
Me, I am me, no mystery.
