Hi Martie, I liked your I Am poem, the last four lines really called out to me as they all pertain to me as well. As to the next one, I'm not sure if I'll ever get to that stage. My confidence isn't there. ;)

Thank you for the kind words.
Comment from Dr. Nad
Such command of the English language and an awareness of a path you want to take us on. You grabbed me from the very beginning and allowed me to ride the roller coaster with you through the dips and turns and hills and valleys and tunnels and then we arrived at our final destination. great job. great poem. Sorry, I'm out of six's already. LOL

Hello, Martie,
A good entry for the 'I am' poem contest. I was wondering why you repeated the am. This format is not my favorite and I had a hard time following...maybe work on the flow. Other than that it's a fine poem.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
Martie, you wrote a remarkable poem, using all the answers to the questions asked at the beginning of the "I am" quest. You even succeeded in make them rhyme! Well done!
But I thought the idea was to play with the answers, re-arrange them, make something very personal out of it; even omitting the sequence of the answers if needed...I do not find that in your poem yet, therefore, now only 4 stars. Please, don't be discouraged: you are doing well!

Thank you for your input and your review. I must admit it has left me somewhat confused. I'm unsure where I missed the "re-arranging instruction" ~ and would very much appreciate your clarification.
-
Martie, of course, you are very welcome. These are not so much instructions, much more a suggestion to play with the answers that you previously gave to the questions. It was me who interpreted that as re-arranging. If you read again all that is written under the questions, you'll see what I mean. But don't you worry! you wrote a nice piece as it is.
-
Hello, again, Marjon. Once again, thank you for your reply. I must be obtuse as I have indeed gone back and re-read as you suggested and I'm afraid I am still in the dark. Rest assured I am not worried nor discouraged, just still confused. Have a great day and a wonderful week and thank you for taking so much time.

It might also be that I am mistaken/or misunderstood what was written and you were right all along. Never mind, I still liked what you wrote, and you are so welcome.

I enjoyed reading this creative poetry about insight into who you are. I like your attitude of being positive and trying to see the best in people. I agree with you that it is very sad when people are prejudiced and cause division on purpose. Bill
