Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Me Me and More Me

I am a little concerned about my poetry,
Does it make me a narcissist
When I wax lyrical, it is about me.
I write what I think,
I write what I say,
I write about MY Life
And how was My Day
I write about My Family
I write about My Friends
Mine Me I, it never ends.
My thoughts, Opinions, My point of view.
My ills and ailments get a good airing too.
My cares and worries are all there to see,
Is this the reason I write poetry?
Narcissism screams from every page
Does this overused word get worse with age?
I sincerely hope not, as I am as ancient as can be.
Am I a Narcissist? No, not ME!!

Line Gauthier October 14, 2022 at 4:56 AM Very endearing ~ to have moments of self awareness is far from narcissism of course, Shirley ~

Rico Leffanta October 2, 2022 at 12:09 PM When my son was born, I looked into his eyes and saw intelligence. Having lived in so many different countries, I immediately recognised the problem was language, and set about teaching him the language. What could be more important than learning to express one's self so as to be accurately understood? Every line you write helps someone find a better way to express one's self! Aloha!

Shirley Hawkins October 2, 2022 at 3:13 PM Thank you, Rico That is true; communication with each other is of the utmost importance. My Great-grandson is 19 months old and not talking; I thought he might be deaf, but his hearing is OK; he is a happy little boy; I am hoping he is just a late talker. I hope all is well with you, Rico.

L Milton Hankins October 2, 2022 at 9:25 AM We write what we know about and what we experience every day. That, my dear friend, is not being narcissistic. It is called sharing from your heart. Shirley Hawkins October 2, 2022 at 3:16 PM Thank you, Milt. I am still smiling at your kind comment.
