Compose a narrative poem telling the ‘story’ of your survivor. It should have five stanzas or twenty-five lines, approximately one page in length. Use descriptive words and phrases to create imagery that will allow the reader to imagine the life of your survivor. It does not have to rhyme, but remember to use a poetry format—this is not an essay! Type or print your poem on separate poem.
