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

[emmajoy]

Cleverly contrived, finely laid and: They do... we do... and most importantly: I do.

[Neville]

apart from being called bullet when at school.. coz I could run so fast, and often had to.. they used to call me the 'brick-layer coz if I ever laid anything, I tried to lay it well..... many thank you's emmajoy, you are far too kind... and sorry if I have offended anyone with my attempt at humour, tis just my naturally norty mind... Neville

[emmajoy]

Anyone offended should write a billion lines about Hum-ility - silly B!

[Neville]

Phew.......

[Little Whisper]

Wow...You are unique... Your style is fascinating....

[Neville]

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Great writing style and originality in this splendidly-Neville poem! I love your lightheartedness and sense of humor- you always lift my spirits. Lovely form in parallel columns- for three poems in one. We lucked out! Yes I know what you are- undefinable!
