Some say I'm multi-faceted, But the truth is plain to me, I can't make my mind up, As to what I'd like to be! I've studied several subjects, And racked up lots of letters, I learned my ABC's And joined the go-getters. But I thrive on adventure ~ Different places ~ different schemes, And even with my poetry, I write on different themes. I write poems of sizzling passion, I write poems of tender love, I write poems that are silly, I write poems on God Above. I may write something humorous, Then I'll write 'bout something bad, But next thing that I'm penning, Could be very, very sad. I write on spirituality, And on fairies, elves and sprites. I write about the angels, And things bumping in the nites! Through writing I express myself, And pour emotions out, It's best for me to write them down, Than to sit about and pout. I may write for the masses, Or for just a chosen few. At times I write for me, Then at others just for you. Fantasies of every sort, Flow from my trusty quill. I like to be up-lifting ~ But I also like to thrill! I tell tales from the Dark Side, Then I write about the Light, I pen in different forms, But no one way is right. My poems have drawn a tear, And also spawned a laugh, I've brought about a sigh or two, Then I'm off to write of wrath! I write poems for the little ones, For children I hold dear, I like to make them giggle, And spread a little cheer. I write poems on Mother Nature ~ On the stars, sun, moon and sod, But this talent I've been blessed with, Is a gift I got from God!

Different forms are fun, they express our differents moods and faces. Ah, to read your work always makes me smile. And yes, the ability to express is a gift. Thanks for sharing yours with us.  Susan |

Oh you do have a gift my friend (if I maybe so bold as to call you that. I hope!) Your muse is simply wonderful and I have the little chipmunk to thank for bringing me into your world. SG P.S. You write because it is in your blood, it's what you are meant to do. |

Suthern ~ Oh, my! I posted this poem too hastily after I wrote it! I was rushing off to a baseball game and didn't take the time to edit it properly. I was mortified when I reread it when I returned home after the game! I have rewritten almost every stanza and I even added a new one. I think I must be PiP's edit queen! I should be doing all my rewrites before I post! lol Oh well, I'm glad you enjoyed my "rough copy"!  Loves 'n laughs, Linda |
