Self Esteem - Who Are You?

A poem is a good way to discover who you are.  We used the following resource from Kid's Health to write a poem:

Just fill in the blanks on the one below, and you will have done it. Poetry does not have to rhyme you know, but see if you can make a pattern with the beats.

1 (Name)
[Beats ]
Sa - rah
1 1 [2]
2 (adjectives - describing words) [Beats] brown haired, friend-ly, chee-ky, small
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 [7]
3 (Brother/sister of)
[Beats]
no-one
1 1 [2]
4
[Beats]

[7]

Line 4 will have 7 beats - and so you go on.
You can have a pattern of three lines or four, or however many you like, so long as there is a pattern.
