My Avatar Label
My avatar presents just what you see;
a woman with a smile and dark brown hair.
Behind that smile, there lives a poetess...
so, what you see reflects the outer me.
Beneath, reserved and quiet, I think deep
to image, with fine words, what stirs my soul.
I chose a lifelike photo just because
it is the shell that holds the real me.
So, here on Soup, I've placed my avatar...
my face...it could have been a rose or bee.
For me, it does not matter how I'm seen...
just how you feel about the thoughts I share.
The image on most things, like avatars...
are labels for the treasures stored within.
