Want to play the YES Game?

Need a dash of distraction?

Want to play the YES Game?

(A curious voice whispers)

Are you a poet with lone-wolf personality tendencies?

(Answer YES silently, so only you'll know)

Are you a solitary person who loves being alone to write

Are you a rebel who resists conforming to social norms as you view the world

While trying not to conform

Are you independent and self-reliant

Subtly defiant

Do you prefer quality to quantity in your relationships

Less is the best 
More a test
 
Do you highly prize your own choice of experiences and freedoms 

Above all else
Whatever comes next

Are you a deep-thinking and introspective people watcher 
 
A silent viewer 
A wordy reviewer

Or are you a soul searcher looking for your missing link 

In ink

But perhaps your true gift is a supernatural ability 
Like mine

To with time

Explore the unknown realms within yourself and maybe others

And finally 
As a poet 

Are you an
Autodidact

Just like the true me, 
A lone-wolf painter 

Creating through words
Poetic Art

A person who teaches himself or herself, rather than being taught by a teacher

For we aren't we all but Poetry

Street corner preachers
