Here’s a fun and imaginative way of writing about yourself that reveals interesting and often quirky things about who you are.

You are going to write a poem of 5 lines where you choose: a type of car; a season; a piece of furniture; an animal and a piece of clothing that best represents your personality and qualities. For every choice you need to give a reason why that inanimate object or animal best reflects who you are. What qualities do you share? What is it about the way they look, behave or what their function is that best reflects you.

Here is the structure to follow:

If I were a car I would be a ………………………… because ………………………….
If I were a season I would be ………………………… because ………………………….
If I were a piece of furniture I would be a/an ………………………… because ………………………….
If I were an animal I would be a/an …………………………… because ………………………….
If I were a piece of clothing I would be a/an ………………………… because ………………………….

Here is an example…

If I were a car I would be a Ferrari because I am stylish, stand out in a crowd and live on adrenaline.
If I were a season I would be summer because I am all about the outdoors, socializing and that Christmas vibe.
If I were a piece of furniture I would be a sleeper couch with scatter cushions that pop as I am adaptable and have flair.
If I was an animal I would be a lion as I am proud, protective and go after what I want but I also love to just chill and relax and bask in the sun.
If I were a piece of clothing I would be a favourite pair of jeans as I am trusted, easy going and fun loving.

Have fun!
