An introvert lives in her mind,
Making friends harder to find,
And so much easier to take that chance,
With words carefully thought out in advance.
The writing and personality comes through it’s clear it’s
About much more than personal appearance,
So is it sad or a relief
That it’s likely we will never meet.
Although Shel Silverstein and Maya Angelou have passed the world is still lucky to have your poetry. This is really good.
So apropos and superb too. Been trying to reach you a couple of times at your email that has some combination of 062 in it. Is that the right one as haven’t heard back.? So is it time to consider to collaborate or for me to capitulate?
No, I haven’t received any of your emails. It’s marissabergen602
That’s the one I’ve been using from your profile and hadn’t received any notification they did/nt go through so???
So unlike me here is mine sless13@gmx.com Could you send me a message and I’ll see if you will receive the one I send in return after. Of course like a Bozo I deleted the first one as I always do so I will have to recreate the spiel.
Ah, you’re well worth it.
Thank you Phil! Quite a compliment!
Wait… you think your words out in advance? Carefully? I am going to try that!
It can be effective at times…let me know how that works out for you. Oh heck, now I have to check out your blog!!
First I have to train the crack squirrels that infest my cranium to accept the whole concept…
Although apparently sometimes blogging people do meet in the real world, which just sounds frightening to me. Written words are so much easier.
Yes, exactly the point of the poem, thanks Sparrow!
It’s okay if we don’t meet. I like you through your words. And if we meet what would we do? We’d talk. With words. So either way….we’re communicating. And meeting. 🙂
That’s true. Yes, when I thought about my use of the word ‘meet’ I did think of the connotation that meeting could be via internet, blogging or any social media forum. That’s a great point and kind of makes it less depressing (for those who might be sad).
I hope no one is sad. 🙂
I often wonder what many are like on the other side of their words and images…
Perfect poetry

I like to think we’ll meet one day. I picture myself with long, gray hair, pulling up in an ancient Winnebago to some dive bar out in Cali, and meeting up to knock a few back with you and your cool hubby and maybe listen to your awesome, by then adult kid perform. Or maybe it’ll be somewhere in Denver. Or Boulder works fine for me too. LOL
That would be truly beautiful.
I actually enjoy ‘meeting’ people through their words. It eliminates any prejudice from appearance that we may carry with us. If someone finds me appealing through my blog and and my words, then they’ve seen the real me.
So true! And kind of the point of the poem. Is it better to ‘meet’ someone without physical appearance weighing so heavy?…
It is for me. I know that I’ve met people in the past that ‘appeared’ as someone that I wanted to know. Over time the shine came off of the apple and I was able to see who the person really was.
