Coffee at the café
As I do most days
Reflecting on my life
As the sound of ‘Harvest’ plays
It’s rough out in the ocean
So opposite to me
The place that I discovered
A girl with a spirit so free
I’ve silenced all my demons
And found a new way to live
That’s full of strength and hope
Have so much to share and give
I like what I see now
The woman I’ve become
A loner yet outgoing
I dance to my own drum
A gentle caring soul
Help anyone in need
Don’t judge, I’m open minded
Not motivated by greed
I’m sensual and loving
Passion rules my heart
I feel emotions deeply
I sometimes fall apart
Not perfect though I try
I’m human, make mistakes
But I’m loyal and I’m faithful
Ones trust I’d never break
So this is me, an open book
Not anything to hide
I’m honest and sincere
And I live my life with pride
Author notes
'Harvest' is my favourite song by Neil Young from the 'Harvest' album and they actually have the CD at the cafe and play it often...It's just like being at home.

THIS IS IT
I just knew it was here somewhere: a rhyming poem. This is by far your best one (so far).

Hey roselady. Found your comment on my "Lingering' and came by to say hi. Adjusts spectacles- I like it all by beat to my drum. You beat a drum, not to it...
You can march to a drum... or dance? -

Hi there, I will certainly take a fresh look at that part. I like the idea of changing it to dance, since I am a belly dancer. I appreciate your objective opinion...thank you.

This is a nice little homage to yourself. It sounds ok.

Awesome
This is an awesome composition and an honest feeling of self worth--It has perfect flow and is well versed and structured! Well Done!
Like you, I also have my favorite poem and what I consider to be my best work that will be the title of my book due to be released sometime in April.
Also, like you, I use the same pen name as my favorite poem.--I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.
