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.

I agree with you about Botox...why bother? I think those lines were earned and they add beauty to a face! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL) I have a scar on my neck too....perhaps from the same surgery you had. I liked the catchy rhyme in this poem, Rose. Nice gettting to know you a little better. Lydi**

This is a soft spoken expression ... you have painted a sweet palette of colors upon your canvas... Grace, confidence, and beauty are what I see within your self portrait.
