Allow Me To Repeat Myself

Dreamers dream Scoffers scoff Thinkers think And droppers drop Artists create art Writers will write Beware of biters, yes they will bite A smiler will smile Still sometimes they'll frown Although mostly happy There are times they feel down Laughers may laugh Other time they will cry Life ain't so easy That's why tryers try Stinkers will stink Comforters will comfort Listen to trumpeters They really do trumpet Listeners will listen Talkers will talk Movers will move It's hard for them to stop Shakers will shake Steppers will step You wouldn't be surprised If a sleeper slept Circles will circle Back to the start A dreamer dreaming Creating his art Dusted off for SKAT's contest.

An awesome write and solid ending. Seems to cover bits of all of us. I started to say 'sleppers' instead of 'sleepers'.

...and everything is how it should be! This is a great lesson to learn... don't try to change people into somebody different, it just isn't right. Take a breath and relax, pay attention to the ones that make you happy etc... It's real down to earth this one, a great pick me up! Again I appreciate all the comments you leave on my work... it inspires me to keep writing!
