This prompt was particularly difficult for me, and I can't even pinpoint exactly why. Should be easy, right? Self-portrait poem. Turns out I'm not so easy to figure out after all. This is what I could come up with that had any quality worth reading. See what you think of what I think of me...
P.S. I'm not fishing for nor am I interested in your contradictory opinions. I've never handled compliments well anyway... Don't bother, really.
04/09/2010: Self-Portrait
Jack of All Trades, Master of Cliches
You can find me at the bottom
Of every circle of interest
I'm the bottom feeder
I do everything some
And nothing all the way
I'm an artist
Without the eye
To make it pop
I'm an athelete
Without the body
To make the cut
I'm a linguist
Without the skill
To speak up
I'm a singer
Without the voice
To carry a tune
I'm a genius
Without the brains
To comprehend
I'm a poet
But all my words
Fall flat
