A Little ABC About Me
My Individual Portfolio
A little self-conscience, but I'm working it out
Beautiful dreamer, dispersing my doubt
Carefully conceited, when I let down my guard
Delightfully daring when I reveal my cards
Emotionally stable, on most given days
Faithfully funny, at least that's what they say
Glamorously grungy, comfort at its best
Hungry for knowledge and eating contests
Imagination runs wild, not settling for less
Justifying the past, by doing better, I guess
Keeping my chin up, never getting stuck
Learning from mistakes, not counting on luck
Mellow on the drama, drama makes me feel
Nauseous
Open to suggestions, but like keepin' it honest
Proud of where I come from - though, I strive to be better
Quite the invitation to be a real go getter
Realizing my value and destroying the mold
Shedding the notion, to only do as I'm told
Time is of the essence
Uniquely
Virtual and evanescence
With my heart on my sleeve
Xenial to everyone, AND me
Youth is a term pertaining to far more than a number
Zeal is a must, don't succumb to encumber

What a great description of self.
What a wonderful self-portrait!
Good job! This was a fun read.
Enjoyed this Kelli! Definitely with you on the nasueating-ness of drama! Hate it and makes feel very shaky! 🤍
I love this, it's like the best advert for yourself!
Oooo, this was sooooo awesomeeee! Do not succumb to encumber. How about I get you a cucumber? Lol. I'll see myself out
Awww, you used my favorite word. And quite nicely, I might add.
Mellow on the drama reminds me of Mellow Yellow!
I like the concept of your Abecedarian as an 'individual portforlio'. Very few interesting moments for me. For example, drama as a source for nausea. The way it's written though doesn't help me visualize the gruesomeness or general discomfort of the nausea though. I was waiting for some kind of climax or release of tension. "Don't succumb to encumber" Personally I resonate with this. No one should conform or give in to a desire that isn't their own. I think this line is at the heart of what you're trying to say in this poem. "Delightfully daring when I reveal my cards" Generally a good line. I just think the "Delightfully" doesn't enhance or add to the picture. Adjectives can be interfering at times, but not to say there isn't a time and place for them. Fun time dwelling your conscience for a moment. :)
This was a delightful read… every line! Love the rhyme. “ Delightfully daring when I reveal my cards Emotionally stable, on most given days Faithfully funny, at least that's what they say Glamorously grungy, comfort at its best.”Wish more were like you 😃
