L ynn is how my name’s pronounced I ntegrity and imagination the ideals N otably nostalgic on occasion E clectic maybe even a little eccentric M otivated by a playful muse O pen-minded at times obstinate N o fancy pseudo nom de plume I ntolerant to painful platitudes Q uality time ideally by a fireplace U nbridled passion for photography E mbrace uplifting peaceful views G rateful a constant state of mind A rt aficionado to the core U nconventional and proud of it T echnologically challenged tenderfoot H appy hibernating in cozy hideouts I nfatuated with the infinite and all that’s zen E nergetic when it comes to writing poetry R acing to the finish line to leave a legacy AP: 2nd place 2021, 3rd place, 3rd place, 3rd place, Honorable Mention 2023, Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on April 30, 2020 for contest I AM: A LIST BIO CHALLENGE sponsored by ANDREA DIETRICH - RANKED 2ND

Line, I was thinking how Zen like you sound as I was reading your poem when I got to the end of your poem and you mention it. It is very nice to get to know you better. It was very clever to make your entry an Acrostic. Congratulations on your wonderful second placement! Blessings xxoo

Line, I love how you laid this out as an acrostic of your name. I can relate to many of your traits, especially technologically challenged and notably nostalgic. You gave a nicely balanced view of yourself and what is important to you, and it's nice to know you a little better from it ~ John
