Who Did I Interview This Time

She shares her face, she shares her name She shares her local dancing fame She hides her self, she hides her pain She hides whilst trying to over explain She's this, she's that, she's no one you know She's all the truth or perhaps all show She's rollercoaster emotion brain But on the outside just acts the same She's redeeming features, merit marks She makes an entrance, sets off sparks She sits by herself, whirling words around Diving into paintings, writing it down She's a validation seeker to her demise She knows this path isn't wise She doesn't swear, she doesn't smoke She drinks pints, likes a laugh and joke She's sophisticated through some eyes She's from mean streets and tells no lies She rolls with the punches and doesn't care less She's a sensitive soul, she'd like to confess She shares her heart, she shares her shame She shares how she always feels to blame She hides her light, she hides her self She dies inside trying to be somebody else

She sounds pretty great, nicely written of the inner workings that are sometimes tricky to put into words

Thanks Hat, I'm.not sure what I did with these thought streams before poetry. Hopefully I'm better off not keeping it all to myself x

Duality personified Dilly, sounds like a pretty normal complex person to me, you really throw some off the cuff ones out there, directionless and straight all at once, super penning, cheers David

Thanks David, I'm wondering if one day I'll wake up with dedication to flower poems rather than confessional portraits but it's not looking like it... I appreciate your support

Exciting! Although my forte isn't humour (in poetry, I'm obviously hilarious in real life!)

I never know what my muse will come up with, I much prefer to write humour but the last 3 have been more serious -I tend to do the more serious stuff for contests.... watch out for a contest coming from me soon lol:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks Jan, writing poetry sometimes throws up surprises and you don't always know what poem will appear x (well I don't - freewheeler that I am!)
