What I Really Think Of You (For my Sister Joann) Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

What I Really Think Of You (For my Sister Joann)

Rating: 5.0

Yes, I'm jealous
You had boyfriends and heartbreak
And are better at cooking and cleaning
You have a career
What do I have?
An old dog and fantasies
And I know you were our parents' favorite
At least, you were the normal one
We were dreamers
You were practical and wise
I wish I was you
But I couldn't be
Even though, I tried

Just be yourself, LeeAnn. You have talents and qualities that your sister does not have. Never put yourself down. You are a special child of God.

Brutally honest poetry...that's what you have, LeeAnn! And that's a whole lot better than the cooking and cleaning! BTW, writing is considered as a career.

It is not jealousy.You admire your sister Joann for what she is.May be she is admiring you for what you are.We all are unique in our own right.Lee Ann as a poet is admired by so many readers like me.

AND, truth or fiction, this poem impressed me very much. OF COURSE I, bri, was 'my parents' favorite'; they couldn't help themselves. And I am my favorite poet, though I do acknowledge that Poe, Shakespeare, and Angelou weren't too bad. bri : ) 5 ***** stars

I wonder: 'Is this poem a true picture of you and your siblings? ' And I wonder: 'Has Joann read your poem? ' AND....'If she read it, how did she respond? '
