Yeah, Thinking within the box or maybe outside it. It depends from where you're standing.
Now I do like this poem as I love anything linguistic. As English is not my first language, it may not come as such a big surprise. Ulla:)))

Ulla, you do quite remarkably well with your English skills. You should be quite proud of your linguistic skills and large numbers of languages you can navigate, it is a shame that most Americans are so linguistically narrow in speaking and reading other languages.
Comment from Bill Schott
This free verse, Glyph, touches on one of the 'puzzling properties of language, which hinder ESL students as the multiple meanings or uses of glyphs defy immediate understanding.

Bill that is so true. I was an ESL collegian way back and while I knew some of the Kings English I didn't know American English
Comment from Wendy G
Interesting, fun, witty, and very different - I have never before read a poem just about the single letter "I"! So I believe you really are thinking outside the box for this one. Well done. Such an imagination!

Wendy, thank you for your review and comments. I took a risk and was attempting a playful approach to my most difficult collegiate class.
Comment from Ginda Simpson
I am always amazed at the Fanstory poets whose imagination takes them in unexpected directions, like what you have done with the letter "I". This is so clever and fun to read, especially if you speak another language where the vowels and their sounds remain constant, with often just one meaning. Great poem!

That's absolutely right, it's still us, excepting of course unless we are trying be something, Or someone we are not, it reminds me of that song, "All of me, why not take all of me?" Heh heh, yes, indeed, I tend to want that, if people don't like me, I still can't be someone else...well - not for long anyway, beautifully written Dear Jim, great theme, blessings Roy

What a fun and informative poem, JLR. I enjoyed
reading it. I liked the art you paired with your
well thought out words. Those words were descriptive
and painted a great picture for readers. You gave readers
much to think arbour.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

I want whatever you had before you went to bed, if waking up this clever and fun "glyph" poem was born! You WERE thinking OUTSIDE the box for this one...and who knew linguistics could be so interesting?

Hi Jim,
This is a cute poem which shows how many homophones the letter I has.
It also shows all the dimensions of one person. Well done.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend.

I enjoyed your fun reflection on the letter "i" which you so intriguingly called the "ninth glyph." Yes, and English is the only language that I know that capitalizes the first person pronoun. Thanks for the fun linguistic and philosophical poem!

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. It is hard to think out of a box.
It is amazing you can come out with a poem with the glyth of I.
I agree with you saying, " For me, my physical form,
myself, my soulful self,
and I, my spiritual one,
we are the same old "I". "
Happy writing and thanks for sharing
