For National Poetry Month, Fort Point Rangers worked on an I am Poem. 
Erick Cortes NPS Above is a video where Ranger Xotchitl explains this activity. “I Am” Poem Instructions
Following the template below, you will be able to create your own poem that will help you think about who you are and what you can become. If you feel you need to add more lines you are encouraged to be as creative as you want. If you feel stuck on any of the lines, try to do the opposite of the instructions.

"I Am a Wave" I am the waves crashing by the Fort I often wonder if I push too hard I will knock it down I hear loud music and can’t hear myself think I see a closed door and an open window I want to have a lot of money to buy a PS5 I am the waves crashing by the Fort I pretend that I can fly I feel wet from all the water I touch all the boats and the Golden Gate Bridge I worry if I push too hard I will push all the boats away I cry when I am all alone I am the waves crashing by the Fort I understand I can’t control everything I say to keep moving forward I dream to buy my dad a big house I try to always smile I hope to see my friends again I am the waves crashing by the Fort Blank “I Am” Poem
