Based on your poem, I'm betting life with you -- your friends, your family, whomever-- has always been and continues to be interesting, exciting, and never dull. I enjoyed the glimpse into who you are. Great writing. ann

    Interesting. Yes, That might be the word by people knowing me but for a stranger, perhaps Danger, would be more apropos. Being 6'6" and weighing more than 300 lbs., just my size have folks become uneasy, but I cry like a little girl by memories, scenes of a movie or reading a better piece of poetry. Thanks for stopping by. Tom

Love the photo. You haven't changed a bit. I won't ask why you were posing behind bars, assume it was a set-up.... It gives a humorous lead-in to your description of yourself - making waves, incorrigible .... The thought of a dentist drilling without anaesthetic is not a pleasant one! best wishes for the contest.

    I can be a cup of tea that is served too hot, or in the South cold.

Well, I'm glad I took your advice and read this poem. It does dive a little deeper into the real you. Your first stanza puzzles me, but I never did well on calculus exams.

    Stanza 1 means scientifically the moon controls the tide and in large part WAVES. So do I, psychologicallyspeaking

You sound like a storm and a whirlwind all wrapped into one Tom. I'd love to meet you it sounds like you have a great personality and a ton of energy.

    Not quite a ton but 14% of a ton stretch over a six-sixframe. As for energy it too is down to a thread at my age. Thanks for reading ME

I enjoyed reading your contest entry, Tom. Your words
were well thought out, descriptive to a point, and smooth
flowing. I like how you wrote the warning with a meteor-
logical POV. I feel I know a bit more about where your
creativity lies. The picture is great, too.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

This is an excellent poem Tom, witty, pithy and frothy. Not just the content but also the form are as what you show of youself to us on this site, so yes it seems a true, hoest picture - even if alarming to those who aren't used to you. Kate xx
