They say
I’m funny,
like I’m humorous,
only with a “knowing” eye.
I don’t mind anymore.

On the cusp of
blending in
has been
the best I can do.
I am most at home
with my family of blue.
They laugh with me
when I am being silly.
When I let tears fall
they come to call
and comfort.
They look through my eyes
and feel through my heart.
I cannot deny
that right from the start
I knew.
I’d love these poets in Blue.

I've found the family of poets here have always been supportive hip shooters, firing huge hugs where and whenever needed

Lori, yes indeed we have been"Family" for many years.I popped into read back in 1999 and just did not feel equipped to write except later to answer a few posts. But once I grew to know a so many with open hearts I started to write, with the coaching of Karilea.  This is indeed a family of friendly people. I am a reader not a poet. Best to you, Jo
