    I have missed you so much. This poem truly defines the true me. I am fun loving, but unfortunately chaos finds me.

A very well-written poem. First congratulations for winning the contest. Sometimes we are followed by our mistakes and messes wherever we go. We simply cannot hide them deep enough.

This a perfect poem about a mess, follows the writing prompt of this contest excellently. I really do know people like this. It used to take me 8 hours per room to clean up my Aunt's home. She used to get angry at me because I cleaned up her home. She would say that because I cleaned up, she could not find anything. She loved her disorder and was used to it.

I can't really relate to being messy but if you ask my husband he will say that I can. I say, however, that when I come home from working an overnight shift, full time job, 5 days a week and sometime OT, then I can be messy. When I wake up from finally just a few hours of sleep, it is then that I clean up. And then is when my home is immaculate.

I love this poem. Good job!

Awesome!! I can relate. I had a younger sister who was miss perfect and I was the impetuous older sister who was always leaving things lay. Great job of following contest requirements. Love it!

I like the brevity of each line. It made it a fast-paced poem. The way you attribute the messes to the objects and not you was witty and gave the poem a Shel Silverstein kind of feel. Great job! Good luck in the contest.

Are you sure you haven't been following me around? LOL. I thought I was alone but sounds like we need to start our on support group. haha. I used to make these plaques that said, "Dull women have immaculate homes". Well, I really am dull now that I'm old so what excuse is mine now? Great entry-gave me a laugh and I am sure it will fair well in the voting.

    Thank you frog, It was when I realized that some people actually use drawers for organizing and not to hide things that I finally realized how ADD I am. lol

You've been peeking at me, haven't you? I always say that's why we have doors on closets.

This is just a cute poem, good rhyme and rhythm. I think it's a perfect entry for the contest. Good luck!

    Thank you so much. Yes, drawers and closets are a place to hide things. I think a lot of writers are so creative that we hate doing mundane things. I saw a list of ADD characteristics that says Add people never use drawers for organization, they just use them to hide things. Then I looked in my drawers and said, well that proves it. Thank you for reading. I appreciate it.

I loved your mess, although many of them could be considered treasures. Do wear white, spots are attractive. I guess hoarding always gets my approval. Your life seems full of fun and talent.

Dear Mystery Poet,

Okay, okay -- have you been following me around? (looking back and forth) Do you have spies in my home right now? As I type? This is so weird. I think you are describing me..... (puzzled)

But much good luck in the contest with this fun entry!!

    Thank you, yep that's me a mess. My father once said, My sister could fall into a mud puddle and come out clean and that I could walk through a sterile room and me and room would be a mess as I waked out.
