Poem Title:
Poem
Although I greatly loved socializing, I really enjoyed being alone, Like ebony evenings of magic, with no ringing of the telephone. Since my young childhood, I had been, an introverted extrovert, Like one with eyes to azure skies, for solitary sun's extra burst! I loved my work as a museum tour guide, as blossoms love rain, And offish Mars loves twirling alone, in the red days of his fame. Yet, in leisure hours I was often alone, like a full, alienated moon, Or stunning, vibrant rainbows, that won't be amassing very soon. Friends oft invited me to parties, and sometimes I would accept, As sun is seen coaxing roses, from the beds where winter's slept. I lived in the house of quiet starlight, each of them roving alone, Like solitary, jade grasshoppers, when green grass is overgrown. My nearest neighbor was my best friend, and we were like family, Ofttimes together, laughing steadily, in the days of golden vanity. Pleasant summer was in high spirits, with a whistling in the trees, And a continuous, merry humming, from hives of the honeybees. One day, I labored in my garden, while marigold blooms sang sun; And I saw a lone woodpecker tapping, getting his own work done. It was not the first time I'd seen one, and they were always solo, Like a total eclipse of the glorious sun, making of him a no-show. Then I saw a pink hummingbird, flying backward, and upside down, Reveling in aloof, open air dining, out on the quaint sunshiny town. This brought to mind adorable koalas, living out serene lives alone, Like a dramatic, lone shooting star, heading out to zones unknown. Later I saw a pretty emerald butterfly, more solitary than the birds, They live and usually migrate alone, past the city's outlying suburbs. Then there is reclusive, giant panda, active at night and by twilight, When hued skies remember and review, the golden day's highlights. Thinking of complex nature's solo acts, I did gain valuable insights, For being alone is only natural, circumstances defining what's right. I am no longer feeling guilty, but am accepting myself just as I am. As the sun accepts taking over, when heavy storms are on the lam. I still laugh it up at joyous parties, like fireworks and confetti stars, Yet, I require long intervals of silence, like silky nights of no chaos!
