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 (C) Copyright John Duffy
