Who could ever have said it better. I should have used some of this, your own, description in my FS Friends entry. Congratulations on winning this one. It's a good one.

Hello my name is Debi and I am a talkaholic. Lol, I thought you had read this already but you know me probably better than anyone else. If I am nothing else, I am honest and can laugh at myself as long as someone is laughing with me and not at me. Thanks so much Gary for the awesome review and fun comments. I do appreciate it more than you know. I don't mean to sound too forward, but I just looked and saw that you hadn't reviewed the one that you know more about than anyone, as I only shared it with you. That was called godfather. And if I remember right I won that one. I need to post one more sad one that I may make a new contest for or post it just by itself.
.it is a tribute to a friend and oh my gosh, I am doing it again. Yes I am a talkaholic. Thanks again my dearest of friends and I am so excited for your answers for the contest.. I will try to get to reviewing today of the ones I missed of yours. Ok, this time I am out of here. : )

I don't recall Godfather. I should be getting notice of everything you write in my message box. I will go check it out right now though, right in the middle of reviewing because you mean that much to me.
Bless you
Gary

You are so sweet. That is the problem with those blind contests, as they should really notify our fans when the contest is over.
-
But blind is good because then you are voting only on the material and not on the author. Of course, we want to trust that everyone will do the right thing, but does that ever happen?
-
Oh I believe in keeping them blind, because that would not be fair otherwise. It always makes me feel good about my win, but after the contest is over then they should release the post to the fans. I have missed many because they don't do that.....

An interesting poem. The syllable count is good. It flows well. The poem seems to fit the contest rules. The final line made me smile.
Thanks for a good read.

And I thank you for a very kind review and comments. It is always a big plus when you hear that you made someone smile. In return you did the same for me. Thanks again my friend!

You are welcome.
Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. The lady says, "no nonsense, just listen to me." Good choice of this picture!
Most the times, it is better to listen to your mother although as you say, " never shut up."
Thanks for sharing

As always my friend, you give good advice Chan! Lol!
My mother was all those things, just as I am: honest, loving, emotional and nostalgic. But we used to be embarrassed as kids as she could sure talk. I am proud to inheriterf those same qualities from her and now my kids roll their eyes at me. Haha! Thanks my friend for the very kind review and words!
Comment from Terry Broxson
LOL, This senryu contest has a bunch of very fun entries and introspection. Good luck with the contest. I think you set the three lines very well, and the last line has a nice punch. Good job. Terry.

Thanks Terry. I will try not to give you a 4 page thank you like normal as it is the people that I feel so comfortable with are the ones that I seem to over talk to . Thanks for the great review and comments my friend.
Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello, Mystery Writer!
Oh my goodness!
Your satirical senryu resonates deeply with me for I, too, am quite the talker! And I laugh too loudly! Perhaps we are related? :)
An excellent offering!
Best Wishes!

Diane, we may be long lost sisters! Lol! When I feel comfortable with people, I just love to over talk as life is too short not to be friendly and kind. That's how you see what is in someone's soul. And obviously sis, here I go
again. : ) Thanks my frfor the lovely review and comments my friend!

Your poem is funny, smooth and relatable. I hope you have the four traits and use your writing for the last. At least people would be happy to see you. The picture adds to your poem. Together they make a great presentation.

honest,loving ,nostalgic and emotional --aren't they very good ingredients for a good character?.Never shutting up can be like a special sauce to make the whole a lot tastier! all the best for the contest.

Thanks Jake for your awesome and fun review. You are so kind and I appreciate all your kind words! And yes I am everyone of those things but do love to talk too much! Guilty as charged! Lol
Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
Very nice. You are brave to take a hard look at yourself - and what you find, as far as I can tell, is a lovely, social, expressive person! Absolutely nothing wrong with talking too much. Good poem, good luck on the contest!

Comment from Michael Cassar
The last verse could be attributed to your mother, and that's only after one reads the name of your poem. Your qualities as described in your poetry are good qualities. To talk or not to talk, that is the question. The combination of title, picture and verses show a nice creative touch.
