Comment from Jasmine Girl
I think a lot of us can say about the same. We are all good hearted jabbers at times, especially the Chinese people. I'm one of them but I'm not used to is anymore or never was. I'm a writer. My mother is the same and can't stop talking in the emergency room.
Well done.

Comment from tempeste
Ciao poet, this made me laugh.
I'm a quiet soul but when I finally lose my cool , I pack out and I just won't stop .. I just go on and on. I can't help myself.
My father has retreated but I still go on in the room on my own. I have a lot of steam and I have to let it all off.
I'm not sure if I got this defect from my mother ( Dutch very stubborn race) or my father ( Italian very loud race ) .
Cute artwork!

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It's hard for me to stop talking once I get started. You wouldn't believe it, but I was shy. It would be impossible for anyone to believe that. In spite of this, there were so many things that should have been released. Especially to those who have hurt me emotionally. Thanks for sharing this.

You are welcome.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Nearly perfect, though line three can easily make it more so by changing it to read "who never shuts up." idk. How do you feel about that suggestion?
It flows better to me without changing the meaning, me thinks.
Post Note: Seems you have a winner here, as you are in the lead.

LOL funny. The gift of gab can be a delightful inheritance. Usually those with that gift comfort others when the rest of us tongue tied.
Excellent senryu.

Comment from Willie P. Smith
The first four traits are good to have. Never shutting up isn't all that bad, it keeps the other from arguing with you. It's also productive if you have something good to say. Willie

Comment from Pearl Edwards
Well, this does sound like an honest evaluation of yourself, and I love the final line. I actually know someone, a good friend, who fits this description, but she's not on F.S. Good luck in the contest.
cheers.

Comment from karenina
Guffaw!
This could be me....but wait, I didn't write it!
Well, anonymous, you've struck a chord!
So many things to say, so little time...
Verbosity is a virtue!!!
(So I tell myself!)
This made me chuckle.

You my dear crack me up to no end. Maybe we were separated at birth, and are really sisters. That would be fine since you already feel like one. Thank you for the kindest and sweet words and review!

Okay! Sisters! I can live with that...even virtually!
Smile...

Love it. Your title gives a little more information - and adds humour! Your image also adds some more information. The poem itself makes you sound like someone I want to know! best wishes for your entry.
