I Am the Best of Me

I Am the Best of Me


I am a writer.  I am a thinker.  I am a poet.  


Considering how hard it was for me to learn how to read I find great irony in discovering that my true passion lies in words.  Perhaps it is because I struggled so hard to make sense of language in my youth, that I create connections with it now.    When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I said… I want to write children’s books, for kids like me that can’t read.  But somewhere along the way, I put that idea aside.  Because I don’t want to write for anyone else.  I write just for me.  To find meaning, in my own life. Discover who resides beneath my skin.  Maybe, just maybe, I’ll one day publish a compendium of the best of me.  So that when I am gone, I will always remain.

Once again it is Global Poetry Writing Month.  I will be attempting to participate with new/unseen poetry.  But life is in flux at the moment.  Seasons are ending and new ones are beginning and I'm going about the business of finding myself again.

  1. Like you, I write for ‘me’ .. I have considered shutting off my blog comments, however it feels close to rude .. after I’ve read and left comments on others’ poetry. Keep writing, and by all means leave it behind for all of time.

    1. I've thought about shutting off comments too. Especially as I haven't had a chance to read and respond to others lately. Life has been totally upside down here and my eldest just tested positive for Covid and he's away at school and I'm feeling really helpless. Writing just seems to help me feel better. It helps me sort out the thoughts in my head. And I like being able to look back and see where I've been.
