This was my homework assignment today for one of my English classes:
Draft your own autobiographical poem and follow this structure:
The first line is your first name, followed by a line of three words that describe you to yourself. The next line is something you love, then something you hate, something you fear, and something you wish for. The last line is your last name.
Bhakti lata
Searching, committed, deep
I love to listen to the murmurs and sing like a tiger
the Lord's holy name
I hate my own crippling weaknesses
I fear that I am unlovable
I wish to love unconditionally
Dasi
P.S. So, dear reader, what's YOUR poem?
