Poetic parts of a life (Saturday Writing...

This Week’s Challenge: I challenge you today to write a poem that reveals bits and pieces of yourself. Much like a autobiography.

Author's Note: I tagged this fiction and non-fiction. Everything in the poem is true except for the final lines.

Collected, calm, motivated at times,

Full of ideas, creations, jumbled inside.

Glasses, dark hair, brows so fine,

Blue, a favorite color, to wear.

Impatient sometimes, yet doesn’t show it.

Personality subdued in person, but different online.

House of love, children, husband,

Pets, stuff aplenty to keep the mind occupied.

That’s about the gist of my autobiography.

If you wanted more,

Read the full story,

Coming in stores soon.

(That’s total fiction, of course.) ;)

Nice, neat nutshell, Angela.

Angela A. Jan 23, 2013, 12:58pm UTC

Thanks. But, are you calling me nutty John? Ha, ha

JOHN BECK Jan 23, 2013, 1:19pm UTC

Never!

Angela A. Jan 24, 2013, 9:28am UTC

That's okay. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes....

JOHN BECK Jan 24, 2013, 9:30am UTC

And that's OK.

Snort. (Chuckle)

I'm reminded of Sandra Bullock's character in the movie, "Miss Congeniality".

Angela A. Jan 24, 2013, 9:41am UTC

I am probably one of the few, who loved that movie. Go, figure huh?

JOHN BECK Jan 24, 2013, 9:46am UTC

I thought there were many really fun moments in that film.

Angela A. Jan 24, 2013, 5:06pm UTC

I like Sandra Bullock. She's awesome.

Total fiction? I don't believe it - not even the last line.

Angela A. Jan 24, 2013, 9:25am UTC

I said that the only part that is fiction, is the last lines. ;)
