Well done Rox. Like you, I don't think much like anyone else, so I've always had to be guarded in things that I regard as important. I think most of us would like to be allied to others, so I'm very selective with friends. But having to love others though, like God, who has broadened my world, but I still don't think like others, I want God's thoughts. Beautifully written my friend Rox, I understand you. Blessings, Roy

Thanks so much. After reading it over, I do hope it didn't come across as bragging or that I think I'm more special than others. I was just wanting to show I do and love all these things but my friends do not. It is kind of weird to me that I have no friends like me. But I have wonderful friends still. =} Thank you again.

No, not at all Rox, you?re just a once off. Probably misunderstood, just be yourself. God knows you as His special girl.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about people who live in their own little world is not always a bad thing. I prefer to hang out with the younger group like my daughter's friends, although I get along with older and my age people too, I find most of them are complaining all the time while my daughter's friends between 25 to 35 is more satisfying.

Comment from Mistydawn
It sounds like you have many talents can do so many things I never knew. My drawings look like something a preschooler would bring home. I think creative people are and always have been misunderstood. The general public doesn't seem to get what goes on in our head. If we dare try to explain they label us as crazy or weird. I'd rather be thought of as that than try to be something I'm not.

No, it didn't sound like you was bragging at all. I love all the arts too, but unfortunatly my talents are very limited.
Comment from Mark D. R.
Roxana,
Honestly, I don't typically review any long verse, even if I am s Fan of the poet. But I was intrigued by artwork, so I read and liked it. Your rhyming was spot on and you told a good story in verse.
Again, your author notes provided me a glimpse of the creative poet. Thanks for today's read.
Mark
P.S. My own genre is typically 5-7-5. My poetry wheelhouse has yet to embrace longer verse of any kind. ... LOL

Your autobiographical poem gives us a vivid impression of you--yes, a truly talented person who CHOOSES to live in her own world. Good use of three line stanzas and subtle rhyme. Rod

Comment from Sally Law
You are super cool and my kids love, love 'Skillet.' My skillet is used to cook. I groove to the tunes and like just about everything--except Rap. I hate it especially when the people listening to it have it at a decibel level that's intrusive and deafening. The words oftentimes are vulgar and violent. What goes in must come out.
You must have lots of good within, Rox. It comes out.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal xoxo

Some of the nicest people I've ever known "live in their own world" and I think that's what makes them better people. They're not trying to desperately fit in or be accepted. We should all have the courage to be who we really are.

You're welcome. You did't come across as bragging at all, just as being yourself.
Comment from Pantygynt
This poem has a very 'modern' feeling. It is set out in tercets rhyming aba but is unrestrained metrically or syllabically, so it reads a bit like prose. it is a most interesting post I think.
One point of grammar here or it might just be a typo.
'No one else desire to be like me,' -- Subject/verb agreement. This should be 'desires'.

I love this writing Roxanna! I think we might be kindred spirits. I call myself, artsy fartsy. . .so you most likely are way more talented than I am but I do love who I am as well. I think you are probably more like my sister who is a throw-back from the Flower-child generation. I would love to hear more about your children's books. I have several written but can't seem to find a publisher (it's hard as you well know). Do you have an agent or did you self-publish?

come on now. . .no backpeddling. You are who you are and it's not about bragging or being special. It's about who you are. In my books, that should be okay. :)
