Michelle Faulkner Poet Bio

Bio Modified-Solitary Scribbler

Solitary
Cloud watcher, tea drinker, dog walker, cat napper
I love summer twilight, dawn fog, and banana cream pie
I believe hype is trite, compliments are contagious, and love is homemade
I feel tangled, fragile, and tentative
I fear unwashed hands, unheard words, and unforeseen consequences
I want to feed a giraffe, ride in a carriage, and sleep in a castle
I reside on the side of feathered hope
Scribbler

John Watt June 11, 2020 at 12:43 AM Michelle, this was easily my favorite of all the Bios we did for the contest back in April, and I just felt like coming back tonight to enjoy your special flair, yet again. I noticed you have posted a couple new ones I've yet to see...

Eve Roper April 27, 2020 at 11:03 PM I've gotten to know you a little bit more, Michelle, congratulations on Dear Heart's Bio contest. . Hugs Eve

Constance La France April 26, 2020 at 11:41 AM Michelle, congratulations on your win in my contest with this terrific bio poem, so nice to know more about you, we actually share many things _Constance

John Watt April 25, 2020 at 1:22 PM So happy to see this placed at the top, Michelle! You gave your bio such a poetic flair. I love dawn fog too, my facebook wallpaper is the dawn fog from a hike up a local mountain. Congrats, a good luck fulfilling those dreams! ~ John Michelle Faulkner April 25, 2020 at 4:20 PM I am very touched by your generous comment, hope you are getting outside and finding more dawn fog :)

Lindsay Laurie April 10, 2020 at 6:22 PM Hello Michelle … a good time to be scribbling with what's happening all around us, and Michelle, most of us readers can relate to your lifestyle - thank you Michelle - Lindsay Michelle Faulkner April 12, 2020 at 10:59 AM At least there's more time for scribbling now - thanks for commenting-

Sandra Adams April 5, 2020 at 7:29 PM wow...I haven't really looked in on the contest...I spend much of my time scouring everything including my hands non stop... my muse seems stuck somewhere within my mind... I love the way you arranged this one, clever, fun to read and well crafted...best wishes in the contest... hugs and blessings Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 11:09 PM It seems like I'm washing my hands every time I turn around! Actually my muse seems to be running overtime - I have 3 more poems I'm working on now (besides this one) So grateful for you taking the time to read and comment, Sandra-

Janice Canerdy April 5, 2020 at 7:28 PM I REALLY like this, Michelle--especially that last line! Janice Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 11:04 PM Thank you so much, Janice!

Andrea Dietrich April 5, 2020 at 6:10 PM this gets my personal attention for most creative one I have yet to see. Wow, you did an amazing job with your bio. Wish I could have been so clever!! very poetic in addition to being biographical. Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 6:39 PM Thank you, Andrea - I actually did a more traditional one about a year ago for her previous bio contest - decided to try a more creative approach this time-

Gershon Wolf April 5, 2020 at 2:36 PM Love the bookends: 'Solitary Scribbler.' Great! Keep doodling... :) gw Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 6:35 PM Thanks, gw! (by the way, the line about feathered hope was a reference to Emily Dickinson's famous line "hope is the thing with feathers")

Jennifer Proxenos April 5, 2020 at 2:32 PM I cannot help but compliment you on this incredible scribble Michelle. Blessings dear friend from across the pond. Jennifer. Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 6:33 PM Blessings to you too, my dear!

Rico Leffanta April 5, 2020 at 1:18 PM Add coconut to your banana cream pie! Castles are VERY cold and damp, so sleep under the stars. A feathered bed is more of a treat than hope, but why should I spoil your dreams? At least they are safe with you! Aloha! Rico Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 2:12 PM Actually, I loathe coconut! And I would prefer a castle with central heating - thanks for stopping by!

John Watt April 5, 2020 at 2:18 AM Michelle, I am so glad you did one of these bios! Love the "dog walker, cat napper" turn of phrase! Those unheard words are the silent killers, aren't they? I hope you get all your wishes. I adore your penultimate line, really adds a lovely poetic touch. Thank you for allowing us to know you a little better, solitary scribbler (and wonderful poetess, I might add)! Warmly, John Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 10:48 AM Thank you, John - that second to last line was inspired by Emily Dickinson's 'hope is the thing with feathers' - always a treat to hear from you, my new friend!

John Watt April 5, 2020 at 2:18 AM Oh, and I second the banana cream pie! John Watt April 6, 2020 at 10:44 AM In our big family gatherings (~25 people), only my nephew-in-law and I like the banana cream pies, so they never get brought anymore! By the way, glad you wrote "catnapper", not "catnipper". It would be cause for worry if you were always getting into the catnip, lol! I agree with Andrea, this is so poetically composed. I love the line "compliments are contagious". I believe it! Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2020 at 10:49 AM Can you believe I'm the only one in my household that likes it?
