My other fami!y
I am a thinker of sorts;
One that is rather selective.
I tend to bore unusually easily;
Perhaps I am mildly restless.
I am okay with challenges,
But even blatant testy rules can be
Presented with greater simplicity.
I am not bad at word search puzzles;
But it seems that my vocabulary
Vanishes with crossword puzzles.
I really do not stress about poetry
Contests that are above my pay grade.
I simply move along, giving others who
Are Much more skillful than me, an opportunity
to swim in waters too deep for me.
I am not a writer, but I write.
I am not a poet, but I write.
I like music but cannot sing.
I am not given to much talking,
But I have a passion for walking.
It is far less painful to stay in my lane.
I like rhyme and a little bit of rhythm.
And believe it or not, I can even dance,
But only behind closed doors.
I must say that I feel extremely
Blessed to be a part of such a talented
Community of poets encouraging each
Other and releasing the healing power
of words to thousands around the world.
