She is

on conversations with ...

a clinical dissection
of her mental acuity
defies logic in perpetuity,
she is at once brilliant,
chaotic, and flamboyantly
dense --

human nature confounds her,
anxieties' aches surround her,
keeping her up at night,
burrowing a furrow in the middle of
her otherwise perfectly
imperfect face --

she is madness
she is love
she is sensuality
with a double xo
she is a riddle
she is a rhyme
without an answer
out of time.

Sounds like some people I know. Good write KL

[Lyn Anderson]

I hope you like those people, because it is supposed to be me ...:)

[Baby Ricochet]

of course ............

[Lyn Anderson]

Good answer, kind of like when your girlfriend asks, "does my a*s look fat in this," better to answer quickly, and with conviction ...:)

[Matching Socks]

Lol!!
I'm reading all the comments about Rene.
A truly awesome man. Great poem, great song.
Fabulous poetess.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much, I wrote this about me while he was writing one about me. :)

[Matching Socks]

I gotta read his then. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

K to the L

[redzone]

I get it, Rene is (s)he, that is he'(s) he is she, as she is he, and at the same time you.. see how easy that was. Just a matter of listening to "Talking Heads" while typing...

Good of you KL to give Rene some help... now off to read a poem...

[Lyn Anderson]

Rene is he, and Rene wrote a really great poem for me, his perception of me, and I liked it a lot. It is called K to the L.

[redzone]

I know.. saw the poem and also that Rene is HE.. lol... was just being tongue in cheeky

[Lyn Anderson]

I see, confused me for a minute there.

[MomzillaNC]

The mystery and the confusion that is woman… well penned. Guys… take note!

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, the mystery and confusion indeed. Thanks.

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the journey in the poem. The many statements led the reader to different places and thoughts. I like the ending. The roll of sentences left the reader with thoughts and question. Thank you foe sharing the excellent poetry.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much for stopping in.

[Sunny]

No problem! :)

[Frieda P]

'SHE'? I thought Rene was a guy!! Love the poem either way...now I'm discombobulated and perplexed....

[Lyn Anderson]

She is is ME. He is writing one for me, and I thought I would help.:) Clear as mud? No?

[Frieda P]

So, he wrote about YOU and you wrote about YOU too, hardly seems fair. It's been a long flippin day, don't mind moi. ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

Here's how it went down. He told me he was writing one, so I wrote this one as I was thinking about it and waiting.

[Frieda P]

That's why yours went out first...you're faster than a speeding bullet, yep, now I get it....all good.

[Lyn Anderson]

That's why Rene made the comment about him not getting any prizes for being slow -- but we don't get any for being fast, except I slap up three poems that get a couple reads each lol

[Frieda P]

Human nature confounds me too as you can tell. ;)

[Rene Salinas]

Oh brother I am glad that the writing styles are so different but also my eyes don't see what you see. I can offer as a way of an advanced idea that my take does not quite meet this angle just what I see I guess but I also have to apologize my sin has always been the overthinking so... .But in here is exactly what I always say. Quick , refrshing , honesty, bubbly passion for life ,empathy .

Just a vibrant thing.

Amazing though I say I am working on a little something KL already finished two writings.

No prozes for the slow pokes like me.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Huh, if there was a prize for speed poetry, I think I would be in contention, but so far no one is banging down the door.

[Sami Khalil]

Powerful nailing on the head as far as description. You could be reflecting on yourself too for that fits your profile(compliment)...:)..........

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, and in fact, you are right on the money. Rene said he was constructing one, thought I would give him a helping hand ...

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:).............
