Not So Secret

This page is supposed to be
for telling you interesting stuff about me
a bunch of facts I could make up
and you could never call my bluff
but I was raised to tell the truth
so take my words as written proof

I’ve had “Liebster” six whole times
So now that I’m immune it’s fine.

 I’m from the land down under,
the apple island state,
I’m made of random memories,
I struggle with my weight,
I’m past the mid-way of my life,
I was my husbands “third-time-lucky” wife,
I have a bunch of secrets,
they’re on the other page,
I’m not what you call placid,
I have computer rage,
I didn’t want to do this,
to write it all in verse
but this is how my brain thinks,
I’m full of funny quirks
So now I’ve shared this moment,
you’ve read right to the end
If you’d care to, leave a comment,
we might end up as friends.

    You think in rhyme?? Wow. That’s pretty crazy. Not bad-crazy, just uncommon-crazy. Must be a bummer when you need to write a shopping list! 😉

    I love how your poetry is clever & funny. I think we could be friends 🙂 Are you still in Tassie? I love visiting but I couldn’t live there, as I’m completely acclimatised to Brisbane. Love your food & Salamanca Markets.

      I live in the best place in Tassie, the Huon Valley. We do have good food (even if I just eat garbage most of the time!).
      Thanks for the compliment on the verse, it jsut happens mostly and I have to let it escape. Today has been especially “versifying” – have several witing for the paper writing moment.

        I haven’t been to the Huon Valley! But I have some Huon Pine chopsticks 🙂 yes, I fully understanding about needing to get the words out. It’s cool you manage to do that in poetry really well so you’re putting the words to good use!

    They make us what we are.
    Quirks help to bring us closer
