What Makes Me Tick Contest

What is it that makes me tick A hundred things could I pick Love, or even the pursuit thereof Tempts my soul to imagine above Music has kept my heart inspired I play and listen and never get tired A good book can catch my attention There are too many I could mention A good movie every now and then The last time, I don’t remember when Trying to learn something that is new Language and culture an example of two If I need to pick just one love brings it home But need to find my other half, so I’m not alone written AUG-27-2013

I think this is my favorite one so far. Though I love them all, this one is more like what I would have said too, if I knew to do more than one single couplet. Congrats for your win!

I know this comment is belated, and I do remember this poem, because It was one of Jack's rare comments on my poems lol. I don't remember all the details of the contest, but don't think I could write a single couplet about anything. I'm more of a 19 line kind of guy lol.

Great uncomplicated self-expressive poem. I guess we all have our own lists of what makes us tick xx

Yes we do, and I don't think replies four months later make very many people tick, but I want to thank you for the read and comment. I truly appreciate it.

Well I guess this is from the days of the replies to comments not reaching, but now that I'm back I can't leave it unanswered. Thanks as always for your read and comment Linda, hope you have decided to stay after all.

Gotta say, the things you mention are what makes me tick too! No matter the age or where we call home, we're all the same deep down inside! Kudos my friend!
