1 . I Am

For today’s prompt, write a communication poem. The communication could be dialogue between two (or more people); a postcard correspondence; a letter; a voicemail; a text message; a series of tweets; or whatever. Heck, I guess a poem is a form of communication–so there’s really no way to screw up today’s prompt (outside of writing nothing at all). Let’s get this party started!

I borrowed from Bob's other challenge, the platform challenge. He challenged followers to define who they are. I am defining myself in a poem. Consider yourself informed.

I Am

I am too nice to others
I always help when I can,
never refusing to lend a hand,
I won’t let you down.

I love ideas and thinking
Sometimes I like rain,
I know I don’t like pain.
I like to find the truth.

I fight an illness daily.
I stick myself and cry
and monitor the why.
Why can’t I be like you?

I like to be outdoors.
I like to feel my feet
walking down the street.
Sometimes I stop and listen.

Saturday is for hockey.
Sunday is for football.
I’ve given up on baseball,
but I follow the Olympics.

I vote from afar,
but I live in the middle.
I never use a griddle.
Save the world, eat a vegan!

My brain sees patterns,
and it crafts fancy tales.
I like to watch whales,
I like to ride the ocean.

My reading is eclectic.
I drink coffee all the day,
I never get my way.
My kids take my car.

I can fix your computer,
or help you save money.
I love you honey.
This is who I am.
