Hi, danny012!
Do you have a teacher who gave you any particular instructions/or requirements for how you are to write them, other than what you've already mentioned, please?
Thanks!

Hi again, danny012!
Then how about starting a poem like that here? If you do that, I'm sure that there will be those of us who'll be willing to come along to give you help and suggestions concerning it.
If you're having trouble just even starting one and it has to be about yourself, please pick out something about yourself, let me know what it is about yourself that you selected and I'll show you ways that you can at least get started.
Thanks!

Okay. Here's something that I just made up that's a free verse poem.
Hey, You!
Take a look at my beard.
What do you think?
Will you call the "fuzz" about my "fuzz?"
After all, there must be a law,
For someone to not have such a beard as I!
Just let your thoughts flow. Doesn't have to rhyme, but can in some spots. Doesn't have to have a strict meter or rhythm, but can in some spots. You can also make up words to fit what you're trying to say.
Today, a friend who I haven't seen in a long time made a comment about my "fuzz", (beard). That's why I mentioned about my beard being "fuzz". When we were discussing it, I was reminded in myself about how the police are sometimes referred to being "fuzz".
Just start writing sort of like you're writing nonsense that in a way makes sense, if that makes sense to you.
Your turn! :)
