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!

Multiple reasons... multitudes of words on many subjects... and we're grateful for every one of them. *S*

I like this peek into the process, my friend... and I love your gift! *S*

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.

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.

P.S. You write because it is in your blood, it's what you are meant to do.

I enjoy writing in different forms as well Linda...
It's good to be flexible.
Hugs sweet lady~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.

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

Oh, I am honoured to have you as a friend! ~ and I am so pleased that our beloved chipmunk guided you onto these seas of blue. I miss her presence so very, very much. She was very special and she had a warm spot in her heart for you.

Thank you for your kind words, my friend!
