Thank you, Jung, Myers, and Briggs

National Poetry Month, Day 24

I wrote today's poem from a prompt for a contest on Allpoetry.com called "What's Your Personality Type?"   Since I've been familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator  for years, it was easy.

 

INFJ

In my case that stands for

Incorrigibly messy,

Nasty about curtain hooks and sewing machines,

Fond of planning lessons,

 imagining future gardens,

Jealous of my alone time.

I won’t notice the new carpet for months,

but please don’t make me late.

I love talking about books and poetry,

and notice the people who don’t.

I’m saved

by baking

and weeding.

 

 

 

and this one I like especially:
