I am and am not
I am not an artist yet I love painting my not so pretty masterpieces.
I am not a seamstress though I love dusting off my sewing machine and making lopsided pillows.
I am not a poet yet I pull out pen and paper writing about the things that I love.
I am not a writer but I have lots of short stories about an urban farm girl assassin.
I am bad to medicore at more things that I excel at and am perfectly content with that.
I am kind, creative,love whimsy and glitter. Seriously love the glitter.
I am excited about every new day and the possiblilty at failing or succeeding at something new.
I am never going be famous or everyones cup of tea.
I am going to keep creating things that give me peace and happiness, hoping that it encourages others to do the same.

I LOVE this! You are indeed a poet! I love “I am bad to mediocre at more things than I excel at” but I have to say that is very subjective. In my eyes, you are good at a lot of things including poetry!
You have to say nice things, I know where you live! In all seriousness I am very blessed for such a great friend and poet who encouraged me to try this thing.
You are a liver of life! And you’re excelling at it!
You are much more than you realize.
Of course you are an artist. That poem is a work of art.
Those periods in the last line work beautifully
This is an disarmmg piece in a very gentle way!
You are a creative! Celebrate yourself! Sweet poem–love especially the last line, “hoping that it encourages others to do the same.”
