I'm curious

[Angeline]

how many of you poets are left-handed? I am, which supposedly means I'd be better at painting or playing music--I'm so not. I'm obsessed with words. Still, when I took those aptitude tests that tell you what career you'd succeed at, the guidance counselors always said I should be an engineer. The only thing I can construct is a sonnet. And yknow, sestinas, that stuff.

Any other southpaw poets out there?

I know it's a fluff thread. If one of you wants to make it profound with a poem, be my guest.

i'm left-handed.

i got that engineering spiel too.

and i sucked even with legos.

 

[tolyk]

Left handed people are supposed to be more creative in general, aren't they? Not just suited for painting and music, but for all creative fields.

Personally, I'm ambidexterous, but my right is still my dominant hand. (I can't write very well with my left, but can do most anything else with either)

 

[Angeline]

I would think left field. That's where everyone always said I was coming from anyway.

And as you know, I'd love to play with Manny.

Aha!

[The_Fool]

I am left-handed.

I am an engineer.

It's the poet part that's questionable sometimes...

I'm glad one of us listened to the guidance counselors.

Hah!

I already did

Ok, I don't know about profound. But it is a poem.

TMI.

(You've reached the point where there's nothing you don't have a poem about--it only took a year, too, ya prolific bastard.)

 

[Liar]

You have a peculiar definition of prolific, m'dear. I just posted my first poems in months.

It's just the way I think of you.

i've written a few dirty poems and stories mentioning my left-handness. one is even titled Lefty.

oh my, too much inFOmation

 

[ruminator]

I'm unequally ambidextrous(sp?)...yeah,..I know.

I'm a creative contractor by trade. Both sides of my brain take turns fighting it out for domination.

It's odd in that with work, music, writing and ordinary tasks there are some things one hand naturally does better than the other. I'm also bipolar if that makes any difference.

neat thread, ange...

 

[Rybka]

I'm just old. . . Nothing works, neither left, right, nor middle!

(a perfect 10 too!)

 

[annaswirls]

Lefty here
ambidextrous for everything but writing.
my hemispheres are reversed


too late to make it a poll Ange? I think it would be cool to see the results. So far, damn, pretty interesting. Wasn't d.a.g. a lefty? lets start our own country.

 

[4degrees]

plain ol every day garden variety righty.

blah.

 

[annaswirls]

I was a tinker toy kind of girl.

and I swear I can feel my brain changing as I build more and more with leggos. Maybe I will grow up to be an engineer, but eh hem. Not.

My test said Private Investigator or a writer. My mom predicted Harlequin novel author and married to some older man in the midwest who already had children. I am not sure where that one came from. Maybe next lifetime.

I told my 4 yr old son that I wanted to be a writer when I grew up.
He told me Mommy you already ARE a writer!

I knew it! I started this thread and thought I bet Neo is a southpaw.

I'm also psychic...um a good guesser.

Yeah. You and Liar win the tmi award.

My mother said I'd be a waitress. Repeatedly. This was after I insisted I was majoring in English in college.

Not that I have a problem with waitresses. I suspect lots of them make more money than I do now, but it was--to my mother--the height of career failure.

We sent her to college and now she's a WAITRESS. Oy. We're plotzing.

I don't think she's too thrilled about poet, either...
