I wrote a short poem about gender differences. I enjoyed seeing it published online here:

Do you like to read or write poetry? Do you prefer poetry that rhymes or other kinds of word play?
What do you think? Is everyone a little narcissistic?

Here is 1 that I recently made.
Is a friend, is a friend
You know you have a friend
They alway there for you
A friend ask only two qestion
Alway be yourself
What can i do to help YOU
Since you can be yourself
You have become a friend
Now we are best friends
A friend is a friend
What you are,is what you get...MY Friend

With a point of view like that I think you must have many nice and happy friends who are blessed to know you. Do you speak Walloon or French? Would you be able to post a comment translating your poem into your native language? If that is allowed on myLot, would you? I would have to go back and read the guidelines to see if that is allowed. If so, I would like to see how that would look!

Dutch and enough English to be a nice myLot friend. You are way ahead of me, as I speak no Dutch, although I can read a little bit in a few other European languages. Thanks for advising me on the guidelines. I play online games on a site that actually encourages people to comment in more than one language. In fact, one of the word games allows responses in any of 5 languages. In that one case, I think it makes the competition more fair and more interesting.

Hello Ann!(",)
I'm pasting your poem here because I found it really cute (because of the rhyming words).
Gender differences.
I look in the mirror
and see you behind me
not looking at me
as I'm looking at you,
but I know that you're knowing
that you're who I'm seeing
because I'm the one
that you're looking
right through.
Perfectly written. It's simple and you were able to cross a message with that short lines. I love it.
Now, I will sleep for a moment because it's already 3:20am. I will attend a parade later at 8am. Good morning!
Can a print your poem?

Interesting poem! I love reading poems and I would spend almost half of the time guessing what the poet wants to tell us. I quit reading regularly for sometime because I found that's quite brain-draining *laughs*. I read occasionally now and have fun guessing again [I guess my problem is I try to imagine too much HAHA]. Like when I read yours I would think "ok, I want to know myself but sometimes I really don't know how to make that someone behind me facing me briefly" *smiles*. Oh right, I think you should post your poems around here so that everyone of us can enjoy too! I love your poem. I don't think things have to be perfectly rhymes and 4-verse or 7-verse, it's beautiful when the poet uses the heart to create it! *smiles*

Oh forgetful me! I used to write poems when I was younger! But I stopped writing because somehow I found my writings or poems too sad to read afterwards. I thought I was really "talented" in writing tragic things ... well, I don't think that would be the message I want to send to the world and therefore I don't really write emotional stuff anymore.
