Another type of personal poem is called the "I Remember" poem. These are simple and flexible to write as well. Each line begins with 'I Remember' followed by phrases that describe your special memories. Sometimes it helps to arrange in chronological order, or maybe you want to arrange in 'chunks' of time. Perhaps you want to remember special places. However you choose to write your poem, it will be unique to you.
Here are two examples:
I remember endless summers at the beach; hot, sandy, sunburned; days too short for a 5 year old child.
I remember hiking the forest with my dad; struggling to keep up with his long stride, hoping to see a deer or bear, wondering when we would stop for snacks.
There is no wrong way to write an 'I Remember' poem.
