I Am What I Am

there's truth in them thar words..

 

I Am What I Am

 

I am not

A fish             Don’t try to catch me

I am not

A trophy        Don’t try to lift me

I am not

A priest          Pray forgive me

I am not

A prophet      God forbid

I am not

A prize          You do surprise me

I am not

A target         So don’t try and hit me

I am not

A memory     Not yet anyway

I am not

A moment     But not far away

I am not

A liar            So listen to the words I say

 

I am me        Believe me

You have the makings of a cult leader! Just joking Nev, a cut through the chase write, down to earth, raw and this is how it is. We are all uniquely presented as self, a one and only copy! Doesn’t get better than that otherwise it’s fake news!

[Neville]

thank you Andrew... I have been otherwise indisposed so apologies for the late response... All Good Things to you and yours... Neville

Wonderful use of words. They were meaningful and worthwhile my friend. I liked the flow of thoughts leading to the strong ending. Thank you Neville for sharing the amazing poetry.

Why would anyone doubt your honesty? There are three poems for the price of one and I have read them all. You are who you are and that is why I love reading you. Good morning Neville.

Theoretically, I guess it COULD... but it's not.

[Neville]

our first tiff, methinks.........

[angel]

Do ya? I don't see why. Poetry is subjective, and I happen to think this is a good one, but I understand. Sometimes I write something I think is shite, but other people love it. Sometimes I think what I wrote was rather good, or even brilliant, and everybody just says 'meh'... Get over it, Neville. This is NOT BAD AT ALL! And, I believe you. Would you be dishonest? Heaven forfend! Love, Angel Godiva

[Neville]

So we are still sweet then.. cheers Angel, All Good Things Godiva.... Neville

I kept thinking Dr. Seuss, which made it all the more charming, disarming, to me, can't you see, you are who you are and that makes you too far but close, closer than the sea ...

[Neville]

Green eggs and ham for tea it is then...... Cheers Neville

[lightsong]

[Neville]

[lightsong]

hhhhaaaaa You are reallllllllly one of the smartest humorous persons I met! this site will NEVER be the same without You! it will be dry as a stone, with no fun at all!

[lightsong]

now, ignore anyone who doesn't read Your poem here and doesn't accept "You" as "YOU"!

[Neville]

If you look, you will find many here who are far more worthy of such great praise my friend...nevertheless, I am both blushing and most grateful to ya.............. N x
