Favorite Poem

I have a lot of favorite poems. I memorized a bunch many years ago and impressed people at times when I was able to recite one to fit the circumstances. I've been thinking of this one often lately. My mom recited it to me once when I was young and feeling sorry for myself. Thanks Mom for giving me the gift of poetry (and the idea of memorizing a few so I could be impressive once in a while - lol).

I am Nobody! Who are You?

by Emily Dickinson

 I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know. 

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
