I Am, Said Someone Who Is Not Neil Diamond

Mamakat's World Famous Writer's Workshop PromptFill in the blanks of this template and create your own I Am poem.  I love these sorts of poetry exercises. Those of you who know who Neil Diamond is will understand the title; those who don't can google him.  Cheers!


I am tenacious and fierce
I wonder if cats ever dream of people
I hear the cry of a phoenix rising from the ashes
I see angels marching across the sky
I want to read every book ever written
I am tenacious and fierce

I pretend to be unaware of the world
I feel the breath of dragons
I touch the manes of griffins
I worry that I am not enough
I cry that any child should ever hurt
I am tenacious and fierce

I understand that this too, shall pass
I say everything exists for a reason, a purpose
I dream of walking through a cool forest in bare feet
I try to keep a clean and uncluttered home
I hope for a comfortable midlife
I am tenacious and fierce
