WHO AM I? 1/2/2017

How would I describe myself
     I'm a woman with many sides
Intelligent, kind, compassionate, quiet and moody
     Loving, giving, caring and sensuous
But whichever side I show, I go hard

I'm very aware of who and how I am
     Sometimes it's a good thing
     Sometimes it's not
But I am who I am

It took most of my adult life to learn and love who
     I am
NO! I'm not perfect nor do I claim to be
     But neither is anyone I know
You can accept or reject me, that's up to you
     But--I am who I am

THE BARBERSHOP 12/20/2016

The men in the barbershop blow my mind

     they are each very different, but still one of a kind

They talk about any and everything

     I sit and I listen

     I listen and learn

To the conversations these men spin

It's said that women talk quite a bit

     but these men really do not quit

Their rhetoric is very interesting

     articulate, intelligent dialog

Gives me fuel to write my blog

Several conversations emerge at once

     I pick up pieces here

     I pick up pieces there

At times I try to interject

     but of me they are not aware

So believe when I tell you the barbershop is cool

     I've heard everything

        from sports to jazz

        from politics to prose

It doesn't bore me, not at all

In fact I have one hell of a ball

     Just Listening!
