An Ode to Myself

written for the poetry4poets challenge, April 4th, 2005

Los Angeles born baby,
Happy Capricorn lady,
No wonder the old world
Thinks you are so crazy.

Born on a rainy day
So very long ago,
No doubt everyone has said
'You’ve a long way to go.'

Musician, poet, writer,
A true Renaissance lass,
There is nothing that you
Cannot make a success.

Finally now you’ve healed
Now your love o’erflows,
Now you know you’re really
Sweeter than a rose.
