Self Portrait

For Contest

I am the only one who really knows me

and a twin inside who others don't see

I am a mother a sister a daughter and a wife

a scar upon my neck...from a surgeons knife

A lopsided smile...with my own writing style

A woman not young as I used to be

but time has been very good to me

I have a frown line that botox would love to inject

but since botox is not permanent...I object.

A loner by nature..I am no party girl

I enjoy my solitude so poems can unfurl

I don't drink...I don't smoke...I love a good joke

I am a giver of presents at Christmas time

I give jewellery but get soap of peach or lime

Just a poet in love with beautiful words

enjoy watching the morn's beautiful birds.

A fun description with a upbeat rhythm. I like this one a lot, because it speaks truth and shows us who you are, without having to dig deeper into your life. Much enjoyed. :)

"I am the only one who really knows me". I have no idea how many times I've said this to myself, and thought of in general. How no one can truly, and wholly understand someone else. All we can do, is try.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Many of the qualities you describe in your self portrait are ones I could have used to describe myself, Rose. We sound very much alike, in fact. (So you must be a very nice person, and I already like you a lot! lol)
This is a wonderful self portrait. It says much about your inner self, and I loved the picture of yourself and, I believe, your son. You have every reason to be very proud.

That's my SyberRose -- I agree about the Botox, too, is there any point at all? Nope. If it doesn't last, why get it?

This was great, Rose.

Good luck in the contest!
