I are me, kind of

I are me, kind of

 

 

I am 

totally infatuated

with

nothing in

particular

 

I am

totally in love

with

no one in

particular

 

I am 

not particularly

fond of

myself

 

and 

I am 

running out of lines

to describe

 

all the things

I am

Or

am not.

If a person is unwilling to read and elaborate on a topic these can be the best answers. If one take a strategy like a yogi detached from materialistic world these lines are perfect to describe. If one is opposite of yogi he or she may write a novel or novella eventually or soon. Really liked this poem.

No novel will ever happen from me..tried that route and don't have the attention span...but certainly detached from the material world...always have been.
thank you, Linda....hope you guys are well.

Sometimes we do not like ourselves but we need to retain our brains not to think so negatively. I have this issue and am currently and forever going to work on this.

I understand this poem from the first line to the last very well.

Thank you for understanding the feeling of the words, P.B.

Just to name a few . . .

Thank you for always being you.

I find I run into the same line and designs lately when writing ... but, I'm hooked (kind of). ~Jim

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, poets are hooked.
thanks, Jim,

I bet that if you made an assignment in your class about who are you (meaning you), you would find there are MANY more lines to add to this poem. Little snippets from your students. And perhaps you might find more things to be fond of about yourself.

I'm not in your class, but I'll start anyway: "you are a poet of metaphoric beauty"

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Ha ha...or maybe less lines!

Thank you for what you added, Curt.

Very clever and just poetry in motion. Fantastic J. I would have loved to have written this one, my sort of poem and writing.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you for that, andrew,

I must remember this for the next time I am interviewed and told to describe myself in 50 words or less.
Far better than any self-promoting nonsense people are forced into saying! 😃

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, Lorry....

Identify is a tricky thing to figure out. For starters, "I are" - there's a plurality in us. And, as you point out, mostly, we don't have strong convictions about anything. Maybe that's why we love heroes that can devote themselves to a cause single-mindedly.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

And the recent docu about Christopher Reeve is a good example....he became a hero...and so many walk now because of his contributions.
Thank for your wise words here.

Sometimes lists are good. Even nothing is a word in the end. Lovely writing as always.
