I would be

I would be

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

For Poppy, Frieda, Vidya, Samantha virginpoet, Maddie, and Kalypso

"
I would be
a Poppy if
not for my hard edges ...

I would
slide into Frieda's skin,
if I could only be so brave ...

I would
tuck into Vidya's world,
if I had a heart left to break ...

I would be
a Virginpoet,
but I lost that part of me a long time ago ...

I would be Maddie, or Kalypso,
but they are still young and free ...

I would be,
but I am me.

What a wonderful poem/tribute but for what it's worth I am glad you are you and not them.. no disrespect to you or them... but all of you are unique and wonderful poets whose voices would make life unbearable if lost, each and or all... besides, I am a very selfish redzone and want, no demand to hear each of your voices...er.. well ok no demands but.. but... ;0) go KL!!

You are an inspiration in many ways.:)
Awe! KL, this is beautiful. I am honored! You can be whatever you want to be, dear. And just remember, we all love you exactly the way you are!

For I would be
a brazen kitty
but I lost that prowess long ago.

Love you, dear! xoxo :)

Thanks, and clever little response.
I'm afraid to know what I'm? I believe we are many things. Parent, school and life make us what we are. I like the many good writers mentions in the poem. You are perfect. You are you. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
