Emotions

E nraged then ecstatic leaves me exhausted and eager
M y memories and milestones are anything but meager
O verwhelmed and outraged I overreact then become obsessed
T roubled thoughts only thwarted when I ace my inner tenacious test
I gnoring my irritable side, I'm increasingly inspired and impressed
O pen to opportunities that are not obnoxious, opposed or oppressed
N onjudgmental, never nasty, sometimes nutty but naturally nice 
S keptical, shy, sexy, secure and silly, sums up a little of my own spice

* We females have so many complex emotions

So true! Women can be very unpredictable, sometimes! This was an impressive acrostic, using rhyme and multiple words for each letter. Very nicely done, Cecilia! Congratulations on your win!

I really like this. Most of the descriptions fit me too, but not the line with O at the beginning. I rarely get outraged or overreact. it's nice to see you posting lately. Hope you stay around and show a lot more poems.

So do us males contrary to popular belief. I think it is all part of the human condition.
