Here is a bio poem about Emily Dickinson:
I am Emily Dickinson
I'm from homemade bread, fresh berries, homemade jam
I'm from my writing desk, my garden, my favorite books
I'm from the quiet streets of Amherst, spreading trees
I'm from Father, Mother, sister Lavinia, brother Austin
I'm from "Come live with me and be my love", "Because I could not stop for Death"
I wonder about nature, life after death
I hear birds singing, leaves rustling
I see flowers blooming, the changing seasons
I want to understand God, eternity
I am afraid of being forgotten
I pretend that I'm just like everyone else

1.3. Death, Be Not Proud
This poem by John Donne argues against death's power. The poet personifies death and claims it should not be proud of its ability to kill, as those it kills merely sleep. He compares death to sleep and asserts that after death, the soul will be freed from its bodily prison. In the final line, Donne states that after death comes eternal life, so death will ultimately "die" and have no power over the poet.
