please help me with an idea for my poem?

This is for school. We are working on the subject of culture. I have to write a poem about my ‘language and accent’, and I don’t really know what to write about??

i am an Iraqi, Egyptian, Singaporian, Italian, Dutch Jew; I was born in Geneva. I have a neutral accent, and I only speak english and a bit of French. I consider myself italian/singaporian.Mostly singaporian because i lived there.

so does anyone have any ideas of what i should write about, or any phrases or something that would be good?

I think my teacher wants us to include phrases or sentences from our language..She wants us to write something like this:http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english/poemscult/searchrev3.shtml

So if anyone could help me out, that would be great… If you are kind enough to help me, can you not give me one sentence answers because i doubt that would help very much, and would be a waste of your time.

Thankyou!

Amanda

Start with some kind of metaphor like a Monet painting or a puzzle. For example, if you take the puzzle idea, each piece is one nationality. Each stanza could be about that nationality. The biggest puzzle piece would be Singapore because you feel that one more than any other. End with the idea of the finished puzzle being you.

Use you imagination. Fill in with memories of relatives that are a part of each piece and include the language for each piece.
