A Self Portrait of Me, Myself and I

For Self Portrait Contest

In the mirror, here is what I see

Pretty good looking girl looking back at me

Conceited? you might say, but I think not

But truth be told, I'm F-N' hot!

Can't stop laughing at the thought

Mouth typically open with foot caught

Pouty lips beneath Monroe dot

Chestnut hair, some black like night

A few plucked greys, and pulled out whites

Frown lines form at the unflattering sight

Long and soft with some loose curls

Hanging down, they reach the girls

Mix of hues and shades that swirl

Light brown eyes that capture the sun

Few crows feet but still look young

Heavy lids, yet I don't look strung

Makeup always, it's a must

Worn all day from dawn to dusk

Accentuating eyes that speak of trust

My nose is normal, about the right size

Seated centered beneath my eyes

It doesn't grow, the truth, no lies

My mind is a house that's always cluttered

Un-shut windows with open shutters

I try to stay focused but I live in the gutter

A smaller package at five foot two

Petite frame with good sized b***s

But still insecure, it's sad but true

Overall I'm happy with the things I see

I never really stopped to just look at me

But I think I'm alright and my husband agrees

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Dye, you executed this very well and with your signature flair. Introspection in it's truest form, excellent write!

[Dye]

Thank you so much. :)

[Shadow Paradox]

I love this so much Dye. Some parts were funny but overall it was beautiful and truthful. :)

[Dye]

Thank you, I really appreciate that. It is easier for me to poke fun at myself, sometimes digging deep isn't as sweet as I would want it to be.

[Shadow Paradox]

Anytime my friend ~

[ANTO]

I'm getting contentment - nay more than contentment Dye, from this write and your innate sexiness is reflected in your witty 'husband agrees' quip. You really embraced this subject matter - bravo!

[Dye]

Thank you Anto, it was a fun challenge to write- I think it sums me up pretty good.

[Akira Kodama]

It has always pissed me off when people mix the meanings of the words "self-aware" and "arrogant/conceited/pretentious". This was good, though I have my own personal bias against makeup. But that doesn't detract from how well written this was. (thumbs up or something)

[Dye]

Thank you for stopping by. Nothing wrong with makeup in my opinion, it's just another accessory.

[Lydia Shutter]

An absolutely delightful introspective poem. You go, GF.....You are beautiful inside and out. Love the rhyming and the humor here. Lydi**

[Dye]

Thank you so much Lydi :)

self portrait...i believe if you're happy with the person in the mirror...than that's all who needs to be happy...everything else is extra...and the way you say the words here...Dye...is you...since no on else can write a description of self than the person...called you...

[Dye]

Thank you Glen, you always seem to find the time to stop by.....I really appreciate it my sweet friend :)

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Time...who has time...overrated...no such thing...good to read you...

[Dye]

So true, thank you again.

[Dr. Wood ?]

A very honest self portrayal....I suppose you have to go one way or another with this kind of thing. Interesting idea this

[Dye]

Thank you my friend. Putting something together for the contest was fun, I've been in a rut and this helped break the spell a tiny bit.

[Dr. Wood ?]

words can do that....It is 4 am here..I,m not sleeping but I at least can write...

[Dye]

Right now I can't sleep or write LOL I guess you're lucky :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

I find it works if you do not try to make it so....Good luck

[Tate Morgan]

It is nice to see such a in depth and deep articulation of your character lol . I gotta say Vanity is one of my own weaknesses ,.You need not worry you are HOT!!

[Dye]

LOL...yes full of depth here. I tried to dig deep but poking fun is much easier for me. Thank you for the compliment ;)

[Tate Morgan]

you are welcome

[Tom]

An honest and brave personal account of what you see in the mirror and kudos to you for mentioning the little discrepancies that most of us all have in common with ourselves, although in your case, these are minuscule when compared to the wonderful lady looking back !

A splendid poem, penned as always in your own inimitable style and effervescent in charm & character!

[Dye]

Thank you so much Tom, it was a fun write for sure.

[larryb]
