Consider the aforementioned.  Write about yourself or a someone you know very well.  Decide if you are going to write about them in context of your/their life's accomplishments, your/their practicality or your/their deviance.  Use one form from the previous  list of 50 forms  to enhance your writing.  Also incorporate  poetic devices . Remember each stanza is a room or scene, build something beautiful.  Think about our discussions of  "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"  to inspire your exploration.

  Where I'm From As Kentucky's 2015-2016 poet laureate, George Ella aimed to collect a "Where I'm From" poem  from every county in Kentucky .  Kentucky’s ‘Where I’m From’: A Poetry of Place” is the central theme of a project that touched all 120 of Kentucky’s counties.  Where I'm From I am from clothespins, from Clorox and carbon-tetrachloride. I am from the dirt under the back porch. (Black, glistening, it tasted like beets.) I am from the forsythia bush the Dutch elm whose long-gone limbs I remember as if they were my own.  I'm from fudge and eyeglasses,           from Imogene and Alafair.

I'm from He restoreth my soul           with a cottonball lamb           and ten verses I can say myself.  I'm from Artemus and Billie's Branch, fried corn and strong coffee. From the finger my grandfather lost           to the auger, the eye my father shut to keep his
