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!
