Poems:
“I’m Me”
I’m me, I’m me
Proud as can be!
Look the world over and you will not see
A person who fits exactly my size,
Or with the same nose and eyes.
From the hair on my head
To my wiggly toes,
I’m me!
“Me”
My smile belongs to a special face.
My nose has found the perfect place.
And my eyes, they’re just right for me.
And this mouth, well, you can see,
The parts all fit together
To make the puzzle that is ME!
I attach the above poem to self-portraits drawn on a puzzle.
