Excellent

'Take a look', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. I'm an antique too so I have absolutely no trouble relating to this talented poet's work. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Chris,

I'm so glad you mentioned this in your notes! I'll tell you a secret - even when my inbox is packed, I mostly won't delete your posts because you don't post often. I was really worried that I might have missed one of yours. I liked this so much! Thank you!

Hi Robyn You are so lovely and Thank you for your lovely support
I would post every day if I could plus it costs me a fortune as I cant make enough members dollar by reviewing to keep my work on page one or two as I don?t have the time to spare still working and other commitments
Plus I have lulls in enthusiasm for writing sometimes then I get a spurt on ha ha
But I do value you friendship and support
PS plus you are one of my favourites here
I know what the inbox is and I cant keep up either and often feel guilty for not reviewing however life is what it is so I just do what I can
Many Cheers and hugs xxChris

Yes indeed, did I ever smile. Beauty is only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah! A well constructed poetic form that has inspired me to give it a try. I love satire and this is the one for me today.

A very well-written poem about feeling great and inviting everyone to take a look at your perfect appearance with an hourglass figure even though you are antique you are great fun to be with.

I enjoyed it a lot. Good humoured and fun, but at the same time very well written. It flows smoothly and well, and the rhythm is good. It must have been enjoyable to write. Great image.

Thank you, Christine! But you didn't brag about how many lives you blessed over 51 years as a nurse! I think you had fun with the rodomontade form! I'm sure Robyn will be pleased you used her form.

I know. It's the theme of that poetic style that makes it hard for me to write. Lol.

I think you have every right to boast about yourself, I know nobody else with boat about me, so I'll do it instead. That artwork was probably you three years ago, beautifully written my friend, an excellent job, blessings Roy

Comment from Janice Canerdy

Excellent

This is an appealing style; it was a good choice for the message you wished to convey! You have made great use of specific, descriptive details
that flow right to the end lines--the lighthearted humor and the mirror! :-)
