Notes About The Poem

'this Quicky Girl'

I was an odd little girl. At a very early age writing, and seeking out nature. I loved to wander libraries and art galleries, while other little girls played with dolls together. A loner, lost within my thoughts. I grew up to be a bit eccentric and offbeat. My style of dressing is whimsical and unique to me. I love seeking out vintage. The key is to not wear too much at one time! My pose and mannerisms are quiet and gentle, people have commented on how calm I seem. I found my Zen a long time ago. I do yoga and meditate each day. Something about me is my need to know what is going on in the world. I watch the local news, the Canadian news (yes, I am from Canada), varied US news, and the World news each morning. Only then can my day begin! It is an oddity I think as so many do not listen or read about the news. I like to read books but not on a Kindle or on the computer I want, must actually hold a book, I love the feel of the pages in my hands. I collect old books, well old and fragile anything. A beautiful vase or plate with a chip perhaps found in second hand shops. I do not need an expensive antique to satisfy my need for "old". Well, that's the oddity of me, a whimsical, unique and a bit offbeat girl.
