This describes me perfectly, and since it does, maybe I will just piggy back on it. Simply put, ditto. I know, I know, that is cheating, and I do not wish to be known as a cheater. So I will try and come up with something original.

    Thanks Nomi for your awesome and fun review. You are so kind and I appreciate all your kind words! And yes I am everyone of those things but do love to talk too much! Guilty as charged! Lol. Hmmm, seems like we could be brother and sister

This is a fun and humorous Senryu.
You have struck all of the right cords here.
The words that were so carefully chosen, express the personality of the poet, further disclosing themselves to the members of the site.
My husband can share the last sentiment with you, because he NEVER shuts up either!!!:)
Great offering!

This was a beautiful entry for the Senryu Yourself writing prompt contest.

Good syllables count. I like the presentation.

Well done. Goodluck in the contest.

Hello author, very good, very cute. I'm sure those who hear you, love to hear your voice and thoughts. I especially like:

BUT NEVER SHUT UP!
(LOL. A girl after my own heart. Say what you want while you still can.)

Humor sells. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

    Thank you so very much Margaret! You are so very sweet! Yes, I have been known to over talk as even some of my thank you messages can go overboard, but telling people how you feel is a good thing.. ( my mom taught me that too) And anyone who has ever come close enough to the end knows if you don't say it now, you may never get another chance. Btw I thank you for the lovely review and comments and although you don't know my identity,
    I am very thankful for your friendship! And as far as the last line in my poem goes, I rest my case! Lol

I do love your honesty. Lol. Quite the description. The caps reinforced the verbiage which was a nice touch. I wish you luck with the contest and look forward to discovering more of your work.

Author,
This is a great self senryu poem.
I used to live by the old adage that 'silence is golden,' but I found sometimes this leads to others taking total advantage.
I suffer from depression and at one time, I lost my 'voice.' People talked at me, not TO me.
Your poem is a great reflection of a person who is ultra-assertive. Don't change.
Blessings,
Cindy

    Thanks Cindy for your awesome review. You are so kind and I appreciate all your kind words! And yes I am everyone of those things but do love to talk too much! Guilty as charged! Lol However, my life was very much like yours as I used to play the doormat, people pleasing and didn't know how to stick up for myself. FS has helped me up incredibly and I feel so much love for and from so many like you. I think it gives us all the extra boost we need. Thank you for being a true friend

This is an excellent senryu, and a great entry in this contest, it's terrible when we try to rid ourselves of our commitment to one another, this is a great reflection in a charming, but a focus on a modern problem. Beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thanks Roy for the great review and kind words! I am all of these things, but I stand guilty as charged on talking way too much! It's a sign that I am comfortable with you and that is the best feeling yet!

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt with us. I happen to be a talker too, but it's not from my mom, so probably from my dad. LOL This was a fun poem to read and caused me to smile.

This poem could be about my sister! LOL. I love your senryu about yourself. It was fun and not too serious. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
