Below is an example of a “We Are…I Am” poem. It was written by a Level 1-3 class at Vancouver Community College in 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am the West End.
\nI am the Olympic Village.
\nI am Fleetwood.
\nWe are East Van.
\nI am Yaletown.
\nI am Burnaby.<\/p>\n

We are community \u2026\u2026\u2026 I am a neighbour.<\/p>\n

I am red Nike shoes.
\nI am a black coat that goes with everything.
\nWe are green grass and green forests.
\nWe are marine blue like the car we\u2019re going to build.
\nI am orange like the sun.<\/p>\n

We are a rainbow \u2026\u2026\u2026 I am a colour.<\/p>\n

We are edgy gangsta rap.
\nI am dance-worthy hip-hop. Shake it baby!
\nI am a romantic love song.
\nI am the Rolling Stones, classic rock.
\nI am Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and hits from the 50s.<\/p>\n

We are music \u2026\u2026.. I am a musician.<\/p>\n

I am short dresses in every colour in a shopping mall.
\nWe are Gucci blue jeans in a nightclub.
\nI am a light cotton t-shirt at the beach.
\nI am a button-up dress shirt with a tie. I clean up good.
\nI am a shiny evening dress in a casino.<\/p>\n

We are dressed sharp …….. I am awesome.<\/p>\n

I hope to be a secretary in a high school.
\nWe hope to be cops drinking coffee in Tim Hortons.
\nI hope to be a cook in a five-star hotel.
\nI hope to be the boss of my own construction company.
\nI hope to be a lawyer in family law.<\/p>\n

We are positive …….. I am sure.<\/p>\n

I dream that I am swimming in piles of money.
\nI dream once in a blue moon.
\nI dream that my kids finish school.
\nWe have deja-vu dreams. We hate it.
\nI dream I am making money, and making it on my own.
\nI dream my grandma is alive and she\u2019s cooking for me.<\/p>\n

We are dreamers …….. I am dreaming of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"menu_order":1,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"back-matter-type":[27],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-505","back-matter","type-back-matter","status-publish","hentry","back-matter-type-appendix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/back-matter\/505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/back-matter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/back-matter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/back-matter\/505\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":693,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/back-matter\/505\/revisions\/693"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/back-matter\/505\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"back-matter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/back-matter-type?post=505"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=505"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/abealf2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
