Hello Rachelle
It is certainly a fun poem about your life and personality and your ambitions.
I'm generally nice,
but I can get mean.
Well said!
Best regards
Sylvia

It is awesome in thinking big in our careers. I like your personality. I think that your dark side can be erased and be a happy person. I like this poem. No grammatical errors. Good luck in the contest!

indeed, writing poems is really not a matter of want but rather a must. our muse is awake all around the clock not knowing when inspiration attacks.
thank you for sharing!
blessings and a super squeeze!

Yes, God probably gave you lots of good things. I'm glad you like yourself. Trying to see you even more in my mind's eye. That's what poetry does: forces to see what we sometimes can't see. I do a lot of this kind of looking.

This biographical poem, The Sum of Parts, has a fun tone to it and reminds me a bit of my motivations for keeping my writing on the light side. Love this part:

G-d gave me humor
and then He bestowed
many chances to need it.

Yes, that's irony.

The use of 'alacrity' is different than I've seen. Fun.

    That words seems to be troubling many of the members. I use that word a lot, so I've been surprised about it. Guess I'll just put my sense of humor in gear and move on!

    Thanks for the review, Bill. xo

I really enjoyed this poem! It speaks to how everything we have was given to us by God. You perfectly captured the essence of personalities and emotions, though it is a little hard to understand with all the large words. Have a blessed day!

This is a wonderful, quick little read of who you are. The shortness packs in quite a bit of info, which is poetically quite a neat trick. You gave a bit of physical description, but told more about your inner self and personality, which is WHO we really are. I like this very much and think you did a great job with it. Love the puzzle pieces for a visual. Great choice. Good Luck!
