fanatical, laughable,
short,
full of fire.
percolator.
(com)passionate,
always thinking,
churning, never
burning out. words,
expressive, descriptive.
writing my soul,
my pain,
my want,
my need…
comical, unforgettable;
regrettable;
always “romantical”.
prolific, fertile, fruitful,
deceptively youthful,
write-hand man.

Walter.

I like those adjectives, Walter! Awesome.
The only way I figured to get the most punch out of 44 words, Victoria, is to make them as descriptive as all get out!! Thanks for this!
Absolutely! My pleasure.
And now mine! 😀
I enjoy the layout of your poem, Walt. Don’t give up looking… the real Walter is out there. …um, I don’t mean that the way it sounds. I mean… well… great biopoem!
I get it, Charley! 😉 I found him a while ago and let him out on occasion when he behaves himself! Thanks for the comment!
Wonderful, word-a-liscious playing going on here, Walt! Of course, I also enjoyed the fact that Anthony Newly was cued up from the start 🙂 (and, didn’t Sammy D join in…)
Yes, but I am so impressed! Not many remember Anthony Newley, so points for that! Mom always used to scold, “Don’t play with your words!” But I couldn’t help it, I loved playing with them! Thanks for stopping over, be by in a bit!
So glad you were bad and didn’t listen to Mom! 🙂
This is so good, I think I just fell in love with you.
I have that effect! I’m an acquired taste, poetically speaking! 😉
A mural with 44 words! Well done. Especially like “percolator” and “always romantical.”
Thanks Lillian! Sometimes I make them up as I go along! 😉
You certainly painted your portrait with such expressive words.
Thanks Arcadia. I use a broad brush!
Especially like that phrase “write-hand man.” Indeed. We are all on the mission of self-discovery right up to the end…hopfully.
Well, I know I’m stopping when I reach that point, Victoria! Thanks for commenting!
There’s a true writer in that poem!
So… you’re saying there’s hope for me yet? 😉 Thanks, Linda!
Love the picture and the words to describe you specially:
deceptively youthful,
write-hand man.
ever searching for the real
Walter.
I think we are all still searching for our real self.
There’s always the “me nobody knows”. Even I wonder sometimes! Thanks for the comment, Grace!
Wow, you rocked this prompt! What a wonderful collection of energetic sizzling words. Loved it.
Thanks, Sherry!
Wow, I would say we all just got a peek into the many facets that make up our friend, Walt…and there’s still more to discover…this is great!
I actually wrote two of these. The first was the facade: what people actually see. This was “part two” who I see… The self-portrait! Yes, we are all deep oceans, Gayle.
Words that rock! Love percolate and write-hand.
You know us percolators. Sometimes we boil over, but for the most part yield a tasty brew! And I am write-handed after all!
love the ever searching line…ha we are endless 🙂
Indeed we are, Sumana! Thank you!
still searching … aren’t we all on unfinished business?
Yes we are! I’m better than I was, but not where I’d like to be. We struggle to improve all the time!
write-hand man.
ever searching for the real
Walter…. does seem to sum it up well. A wonderful mix of adjectives indeed.
I’d like to think of them as “a fine blend” of adjectives, but thanks for this Debi! 😀
We, your readers, have some idea of the real Walter – who is very good-hearted, and no fool!
Kind of you to say, Rosemary. You’ve had a longer glimpse of the me not too many know. Glad your opinion is favorable. I try to keep my biases out of my poetry and just write the things my heart sees. I just wish others felt the same sometimes! You dear are a beautiful soul! And a non-fool in your own right!
this, complete with your poetic style made me smile:) glad to know you, Walt! (I decided to accept your invite at the beginning of July to visit here. The end of July kept me from Poetic Bloomings due to Duty’s Beauty;-) but not without a bit of disappointed frustration…
I’m just glad you found some time to share your worded wonder. It’s not the quantity, it is the quality. And you dear have that in abundance! Thanks for the support and friendship we share across the border and the web! You’re a class act, Janet!
Great to know you a little better, Walter. All the pieces and parts you’ve listed make you who you are, and a very talented poet! …that photo is wild! 🙂
I appreciate that! We are all works in progress. The photo was from m Halloween about thirty years ago. I’ve maintained my madness quite well in that time! 😀
Each one is a real piece, albeit in progress. So, what may be true today maybe different tomorrow.
I enjoyed reading this piece. 🙂
Thanks Imelda!
Walt, I *loved* this so much. So vibrant, so energetic… and your photo is fabulous!
Thanks Freya. That was certainly from my young and foolish days!
Yes, life does consist of a lot of searching for who we are. I suppose if we ever arrive at an answer, that might be a bad thing…as it would mean that we are no longer changing/growing/learning
ahhhh, but this fool fell in love…super self-portrait. romantical, percolator…write-hand man. and kind.
