An Ode of Appreciation to My Bod

by Rachelle Allen

Your Body Contest Winner 
My source of pride my whole life long,
Leggy, shapely, flexible, strong.
 
It still turns heads at my ripe age,
Wrapped in magentas, never beige.
 
I take care to treat it well,
Loofahs, lotions, sun block gel.
 
Daily rounds of exercise,
Healthy treats (no "extra fries.")
 
All this keeps my temple fine.
It's aging like a well-kept wine.
 


Writing Prompt
Write a poem of any type about your body.

Your Body
Contest Winner


Me this past December, age 67...and a half.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
