Over at Poetic Asides, we are asked to write a self-portrait. Of course, there are many styles out there. I had submitted a couple of pieces I had written prior to describe myself. However, in true spirit of the season, I will be writing a new poem.
Meena Rose
Well Versed Selfie
By: Meena Rose
daughter of the Moon
in love with Sun’s
warming kisses
come find me out
and about walking
lost to my surroundings
otherwise, find me within
engrossed and absorbed
in whole
I inhabit a world of gray
the basics come in
black and white
certainty is slippery
a world of relative
absolutes
I dodge confrontation
but will fight for what
is right
a living oxymoron
a breathing conundrum
is the verdict on most nights
I chisel and I chip at
the question of self
liberating self-slivers
