I'M Quirky

I’m quirky; that’s just how I love to be.
I don’t think many people are like me.
The things I like most, I turn them into
obsessions which, without fail, I must do!

New movies weekly I have got to see.
I’m quirky; that’s just how I love to be.
Movies at theaters on a big screen!
This habit I’ve had since I was a teen.

I have collections, and how each one grows!
Old records, books, knick-knacks, jewelry and clothes,
and some of them span half a century.
I’m quirky; that’s just how I love to be.

Routines I’ve formed for my health and for fun.
Each week I can barely get them all done.
From skin care - to diet - to poetry,
I’m quirky; that’s just how I love to be!

CayCay Jennings Date: 2/15/2018 10:03:00 AM I did wonder how you would handle this challenge. I've scattered drafts here and there, but none 'feel' right - I find it hard to write about myself. I'm so weird, where to begin? The Quatern served your 'honest' quirks well in an entertaining poem. You brevity-succeeded on what I consider a tough topic. Love ... CayCay Login to Reply

Frederic Parker Date: 2/14/2018 2:17:00 PM well done Andrea, you know those that collect a lot of old stuff are called hoarders...they have TV show about them, ha,ha...good luck in the contest Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/14/2018 5:56:00 PM Yes, but compared to the ones on tv, I am a .5 on the scale from 0 to 10. I keep it organized and "out of sight" (except for the knick knacks for display and books all over the book shelves. haha)
