‘I am from’ poem?

My teacher is making us write a poem about us, I good at writing poetry, just not when its about myself so I was wondering if anyone could help, if they had any examples or just something that might spark some inspiration. Basicly it just has to be about people you know places you live, phrases you say, traditions, smells/sounds, tastes/food, sights, activities, and/or clothing/trends.

i start with a central image where i can compare myself with, then i let the descriptions flow from the image as if it were me talking.

you can use freestyle verse so the flow of your feelings dont stop just because you need to follow a certain meter.

example:

like sunflower basking from the warm orange sun

there i was sitting under with coffee warming in my hands

little trickles of sweat

it’s summer again

i remember the sound of trickles from the stream

where i used to play…

i remember me.

Using the first letter of your name is a neat idea, and most of the words/places/foods/etc. have to start with that letter.

Ex:

My name is Rachel

I am from Rhode Island

I eat red radishes

I ride rollercoasters

I rev my Rav4

I run rambunctiously
