Autobiography Poem

An autobiography poem is a poem about yourself that describes your characteristics, feelings, experiences, and accomplishments.

Writing an Autobiography Poem   

While almost any type of poetry could be written about yourself, one way to write an autobiography poem is to structure each line so that it tells something different or interesting about yourself.  The following is one way to structure your poem:

Line 1: First name

Line 2: Birthplace

Line 3: Three or four adjectives that describe you

Line 4: Name one important relationship that you have (Daughter of ___ , Mom of ___)

Line 5: Three things, ideas, or people that you love

Line 6: Three feelings you experience

Line 7: Three fears you have

Line 8: One accomplishment

Line 9: Two or three things dreams you have

Line 10: Last name
