I Am Becoming

Read a snippet from Jane Relaford Brown’s poem, “Finding Her Here.” Place your pen on paper and write freely. Begin with the starter phrase, “I am becoming . . . .”  Write until this writing or story feels complete.

Give it time and review it later. What have you learned?

From “Finding Her Here”

I am becoming the woman I’ve wanted,

[Who] knows she’s a survivor—

that whatever comes,

she can outlast it.

I am becoming a deep

weathered basket.

I am becoming the woman I’ve longed for.

The poem is by ©Jane Relaford Brown. Educational use. It comes from her book My First Real Tree(Foothills.)
