Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Be Nicer To Myself Today

Light a candle.
Relax.
Carve out ME time.
Write poetry.
Find opportunities to meditate.

Treat my body like a temple.
Make myself prettier.
Play music.
Learn Tai Chi.
Seek out like-minded people.

Go on a selfie date.
Draw in my Inner Child book.
Play Play Play.
Soak in the sun.
Go out on a photo shoot.

Hang out with people who “get” me.
Treat myself to the expensive fruits & veggies.
Pamper myself with home mani-pedi’s.
Exercise, stretch, do yoga, do weights, dance.
Create.

Ask for help when I need it.

Constance La France November 8, 2017 at 12:47 PM Line, congratulations on your win in my contest, I really like your poem, not sure it is really free verse, reading more like List but none the less, a wonderful write. Line Gauthier November 8, 2017 at 3:06 PM Thank you for accepting my freestyled poem - this "list" is music to my soul. Thanks for understanding.

Richard Lamoureux November 8, 2017 at 8:34 AM It seems I get to read one of the best last. We really should treat ourselves better. I love the simplicity of this piece and the deeper meaning within the easy feel of it. Line Gauthier November 8, 2017 at 3:07 PM Thank you, Richard. What a lovely and touching comment. Very appreciated. Line xx

Patricia Cresswell October 30, 2017 at 1:03 PM The last line changed the whole tone of the poem It is both humerous and sad. Well done dear poet. Line Gauthier October 30, 2017 at 5:02 PM Thanks, Patricia. So many woman (I guess people in general) don't ever think to ask for help... From one extreme to the other.
