For the Unadorned, Utopia ,Utterly, Uplifting Poetry Contest of Constance La France
A note to anyone trying my List Contest: This is another example of how to do a list poem in the way I have adapted it: Use rhyming couplets and make sure your ONE word title is used at least in line one of every couplet. In the case of my contest going on right now, the limit for couplets is between 3 to 10 (using no more than 20 lines total for your contest entry). My poem below goes over that limit.

"The best thing I can say about me is that I am utterly what you see." by author of this poem
Utterly in love with writing I have been
since my muse first visited and I picked up her pen.
Utterly adoring of family and friends I am.
Though far from most of them, I call to chat as often as I can.
Utterly content am I to also be alone.
I have a lot of interests I engage in on my own.
I’m utterly in awe of books, for like a favorite friend,
a good book I will stay with until the very end.
I’m utterly delighted by small pleasures such as food.
Popcorn and movies put me in a happy mood.
I’m utterly nostalgic when I’m thinking of
my kin and friends deceased for whom I have great love.
I’m utterly impressed by those who have great wit
but not so pleased, when given not a thing to do, I am forced to sit.
I’m utterly annoyed too by people who are mean
and small-minded people who with jealousy are green.
Most utterly I’m sickened by horrific crimes.
Murder, rape, domestic violence: the number of them climbs.
Utterly overwhelmed by woe I sometimes feel.
For things once on my bucket list I no more have great zeal.
However, I stay utterly thankful to the Lord
knowing when I die, my health will be restored.
I utterly admire folks who show a happy face
like those with burdens helping others, living life with grace.
Utterly with hope I live. I need not dwell on strife
with all the wondrous things that I was blessed with in my life
