I am NOT,
She insisted,
Capricious
Or blind.
I am bold.
I am loud.
I am the life of
The crowd.
I speak up.
I won’t hush.
My decisions
May clash.
My opinions indeed
Tend to
Unwind,
And it’s true that
I’m good at
Changing
My mind.
But I am not,
(At this moment)
Arbitrarily
Inclined.

Love it, Na’ama! Capricious has its own type of wisdom, doesn’t it? Because you may be acting on your instinct and just because your behaviour doesn’t make sense to other people doesn’t mean it’s not the right decision. Sometimes the best decisions are made when you change your mind 🙂

(though truth be told, I’m not sure I’d qualify for the character I wrote about in the poem … 😉 so I made her a ‘she’ rather than an “I”) 😉

Eeezatly. And after all, one can argue that those who want her to be one thing and not another are the capricious ones … 😉 For whose to say that the natural way isn’t to be one thing and then another in the same day? 😉
