As a sort of introduction I challenge any takers to decribe their personality in whatever form they chose.

I made this poem in less than 10 minutes without much thinking. its funny how random things pop out of your head lol.
shy

the color of the sky is shy

when i look up it's shy

however i dont know why

that a person like me is shy
i am never shy

when someone stares me into the eye

i am never shy

when people want me to fly

i am never shy

when someone tells me to throw a cherry pie

i am never shy

when the class play goes awry

i am never shy

when someone tells me to punch a guy (which I never do).


however when the 8th grade culmination comes, i know when i am shy

and please don't ask me why.

OMG!!! i am very sorry, accidentally posted it twice. anyways, this one is centered; it kinda gives it more feeling.

That's no problem Great Onion, but for forture reference you can always edit your post as long as it is within the same day.

The repetition of "I am never shy" works well for your poem.

Dear Falling Rain,

                       Whatever else you come up with, it will be hard put to beat, for the sheer joy of discovering it, the line that you already posted.  What a one line personality description!  There are fiction writers who would give an arm to have written that, and your unconscious simply coughed it up on the spot.  Your unconscious is very fast and very funny and very sharp, and it works very well with your shyness and uncertainty.  Keep writing, guy.

Yours, BobK

im glad you liked my poem. not to change the
topic of this thread or anything, but has anyone here recieved a high merit in a poetry contest before? i had a high merit attending the Fall Great Lakes competition and guess what; my name and my poem were published in a book! (though it was quite a while ago, i think it was a year before, and i will try to make it to the top poem list of Montana, Wisconsin and Michigan.) though ironically, i live in California :/

Personality (7/15/08)

She’s the stranger that you look for
In the crowd you never knew
The socialite that brings you
A hard catch 22

She’s the luckiest unlucky
Child you’ll ever meet
This talkative inventor
That formulates the beat

She’s bubbly and funny
A bit insane at times
But more than just that
She’s a creator of rhymes

"Lucy: I think you are the most selfish person on the planet. George: Well that's just silly. Have you met everyone on the planet?"
