Autobiographical Poem example.

“Good Wolf, Bad Wolf," By Ms. Nadow

Grandfather,

You taught me to consider the next seven generations

With my each and every action;

In my negligence I have failed you. 

Grandfather,

I look to your leadership,

Even though you are gone,

Your legacy lives on.

I listen for your voice

The storm is drowning out your words.

You taught me about my inner wolves,

I didn’t believe my spirit could be so fierce,

But they both prowl under the surface.

I don’t feed Alpha much, but in her hunger,

She has grown more wild and savage in her old age.

Omega runs steady, healthy and strong,

Uniting the pack, protecting the cubs.

Our territory gets smaller,

The leaders are fighting,

I don’t know which wolf to feed.

Alpha growls for survival,

Omega howls for peace,

The pack is restless. 

The fight is coming.
