Humorous look at remorse31 total reviews

I love the poem. I love the subject. Body weight is a person thing. I have problems because I am too thin. I look like I am starving, but that is not the fact. My mother was short and round. We thought her body was perfect in every way. Great work.

Thank you elliejean for your review. I'll trade you my short round body for your thin any day. :o) My sweet husband is a thinny...never gains weight no matter how much he eats. :o) I know it can be a problem that goes both ways. However, I would like to have the reverse just for a while.

Thank you mtnspirit for your review of my silly poem.
Comment from juliedickson55
Very humorous, but also profound, that many hold the weight around their middle.
Well done, this poem telling of how tired people are of labels, looking pregnant, fat, etc.
Society dictates thinness...

Thank you Julie for your comments on my poem. I am glad you found it humorous and also got the underlying message of labels.

HAHAHA! How cute! And so true to life - my life! I am also five feet tall (and shrinking. My oldest will be 38 next year, and his oldest just had her first baby last month! As for my "baby fat"? Well I always say that I'm not over-weight...I'm just under-tall. LOL

I'm laughing at your "under-tall" comment. I think you could say that for me, too. :o) I'm glad you found my poem funny. Thank you for the review.

Oh this is a scream, absolutely adorable! Is there a woman who doesn't find SOMETHING to squawk about when it comes to her looks? Uh uh, I doubt it highly! Your poem is hilarious and so well-penned. Best of luck in the contest. I LOVED this fun write!

Comment from Spitfire
It's hard to get rid of belly fat. I'm five two, and recall several years ago a student asking if I were pregnant! Since I was over fifty, guess I should take it as a compliment that I looked young enough to do the naughty. LOL
Enjoyed this poem even though too close to home.

Comment from missy98writer
Poet,
Your poem is very well written with rich imagery.
I'm sorry if it's a bibliographal, but your poem is funny to the max.
The art worth you used is priceless.
In your feelings poem you used excellent rhyme and meter.
I enjoyed your last stanza:
Pregnant I have been mistaken
With remorse I am overtaken
I'm sixty-four, I'd like to underscore
I don't want to look pregnant anymore!
I wish you good luck in the contest.
Would I recommend your poem to other reviewers?
Yes, I would.
Please have a nice day,
Missy.

Comment from Donya Quijote
Hehehehehe! This was a hoot of a fun read. I just had to laugh out loud. I feel for you sister and I'm in the same boat as, only never children. Gained all my extra weight while in the Navy. Your rhyme is sublime, really fine and not at all forced, and the rhythm is well-paced. Overall a fine write...

Donya, I am glad you got a laugh out of my silly poem. Thank you for the review. Go Navy! all my mom's brothers and one sister served in the Navy. What a bunch of characters. :o) Especially my aunt...she's 89 and still working as a bounty hunter. (cusses like a sailor, too. :o) That's another story I'll have to write sometime. :o)
