Bio Poem

The root word “bio” means life.  A BioPoem is a poetic way of capturing the essence of a person’s character by sandwiching elements of the person’s life between his/her first and last names.  Use this sheet to plan your BioPoem.  Then write the finished poem on a separate sheet with proper heading. 

A BioPoem consists of eleven lines which follow this pattern:

Line 1:  Your first name—

Line 2:  Four one-word traits that describe you:

Line 4: Lover of (list three things or people)

Line 5: Who feels (three items)

Line 6: Who needs (three items)

Line 7: Who gives (three items)

Line 8: Who fears (three items)

Line 9: Who aspires to (three items)

Line 10: Who would rather _____________ than __________________ (one item)

Hanna-

Honest, serious, generous, hard-working,

Sister of Mariam, Janet and Theresa,

Lover of music, comic books, and hot tea,

Who feels joy when singing, loneliness in the dark,

                And nervousness at the hospital,

Who needs friends, walks in the park, and gyros,

Who gives support, encouragement, and good ideas,

Who fears pain, boredom, and rejection,

Who aspires to make an album, take care of her family, and meet

                Michelle Obama.

Who would rather read a book than watch a TV show,

Who lives in an apartment with her two best friends
