There is a wonderful poem out there by the name of "Where I'm from," written by George Ella Lyon. It's also commonly made into an outline poem, which I did for my Loka character. I would like to share mine and encourage others to write poems based on their character! The outline, and orginal poem, can be found on a google doc I put together here.
Okay all done, here's mine:
I am from parchment
From paper and pen
I am from humid jungle and the frozen taiga
And roaring hill and desert sand
I am from the Vanir’s Mercy
Whose petals bloomed all year round
I am from farming tools and horseshoes
From Asgard and Talongon
I am from wit and will
And from those who stood up for what is right
And those who never let anyone suffer
I am from the grace of Freyjia
I am from Dellsmite and Citadel
From watermelon and baked potatoes
From the War of the Third Age
And from the Battle of the Spire
From the tears I shed for my lost brothers
I am from those moments my home has changed,
But never less loved or treasured.
