Now you sound like my kind of person. I love food and write poetry about it all the time. Mudcrab, curry, sweety treats, icecream. You name it. I'll have a go at eating anything. I ate crocodile for dinner last night. Fantastic poem which I sincerely related to, Jacqueline

Thank you so much, Jacqueline. I'm glad to be your kind of person. Any time when I'm sad is the only time I don't love food!

Me too!
Comment from JSD
Lovely rhyme and rhythm to present a gorgeous list of indulgent foods. And then a great twist at the end to make us laugh. Well done and I hope you did well in the competition.

Oh, if only, mystery poet. My dreams never end up that way, infact, my diet is seldom intact, but I love your poem and its clever message.
Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

Thank you so very much. I've had crazy dreams while dieting, so I decided I'd make this one a good one!

Now, those I've had! One time I dreamed a giant chocolate bar was chasing me, lol.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, It Hurts Just Thinking About It, presented with twelve rhyming couplets, described the worst dinner a dieter could attend. Fortunately, it was all a dream.

You had me smiling. Start to finish. It's just too damn true! As I was so disciplined tonight. At least with food...those three beers were not light ones!

I loved the humor throughout the whole poem. I was thinking... this is totally me... until that dreamy ending... confession... not so much totally me. Lol
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Thanks for a great review-from a fellow food lover, if not dieter! I gave up dieting for food!
Comment from Lea Tonin1
Isn't that the way with diets eh? Especially when you go to start them, you dream about food and all the stuff you love to eat. Go ahead and then you don't want to go on a diet. LoL Eighth stanza down, it seems that there are some funny symbols mixed up in one of your words. It's a system quirk but you may wish you to delete them.
I see, no issues with esthetics, grammar, sentence structure, or subject matter. It's a great submission that made me chuckle. I hope you have an awesome day.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and the find in the eighth stanza. I appreciate both.

And I will bet that the dressing, despite being called "chunky blue cheese", didn't have a single good sized chunk in it! ð??¥. That lament out of the way, I can sympathize completely. We decide to diet and get fit again, or are put on a diet, but instead we fall pray to the Little Piece demon.

LOL! his is an excellent and funny poem for the challenge. I enjoyed reading it. Your presentation is very good, too. You also use descriptive words and colorful imagery that draw in a reader. Weve been vegans sine 2019. lol
Best wishes!

Thanks Alexandra for your review. I liked it very much, and sadly, I love meat too much to join you.
