How to Write a Name Poem

A Name Poem is a good way to look at the influence that people around you – and your experiences – have on who you are/become.
 
Line 1 – your first name
Line 2 – “It means” then 3 adjectives that describe you
Line 3 – “It is the number” then any number you choose
Line 4 – “It is like” describe a color but don’t name it
Line 5 – “It is” and name something you remember experiencing with family or friends that makes you smile to recall
Line 6 – “It is the memory of” and name a person who is or has been significant to you
Line 7 – “Who taught me” 2 abstract concepts (such as “honesty”)
Line 8 – “When he/she” then refer to something that person did that displayed the qualities in line 7
Line 9 – “My name is” your first name
Line 10 – “It means” and in 1-2 brief sentences state something important you believe about life.

Example:
Monique
It means strong, compassionate, friendly,
It is 100,
It is like light strawberries,
It is going swimming in the cold lake at Banff,
It is the memory of Grandma Tracy,
Who taught me patience and trust,
When she worked at the school,
My name is Monique,
It means I believe in working hard and never giving up.
