Split Down the Middle

My mama says that when I was born, That I was split right down the middle. One minute I’d be hollerin’, The next I’d be as mellow as a marshmallow. She doesn’t know about me, But I’m one of her others. I’m not the only one in here with her, After all there is many of us. I’m the quiet shy one, I rarely come out to visit these days. I don’t like the others, They’re quite mean to me. There’s many of us in here, But we don’t come out too often. We like it in here though, No one ever bothers us. I guess my mama was right, But I’m split everywhere, Not just down the middle.

Victoria,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"
