Inspired by and written for Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – thank you, Sue and GC

Sorry guys, I can’t resist it

Bend
Form: Limerick 2

Identity is something we shouldn’t have to defend
As through the labels and tags of life we wend
Be this, or be that
I can tell you off the bat
Only a ruler for drawing lines has no bend

To know what is or isn’t you’ll just have to wait
As identity flows in a fluid-like state
Never feeling it’s all one way
And that’s fine for today
I’m not a ruler so I’ll be damned if I’m straight

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry. View all posts by JezzieG
