Comment from RoostyNester

Excellent

I loved your "I am not perfect" poem. How we can ALL relate to it! I know I do. It was a clever idea and you did an excellent job, with words, rhyme and syllable count. The art you chose, fit your poem exactly. Very well done.

This was fabulous writing. You have managed to capture the reality of life's changes and throw in humor to boot. As I read it I had to smile and even chuckle. It should be used in a commercial on aging and accepting. Great job, good luck, thanks.

Funny poem.I'm still laughing. My brother went to his 20-rwar reunion. He said, "Who are all these old people? When I was young, I wanted to be older, but I didn't know it was going to be like this.

A very well-written poem. Perfect in all imperfections. Accept who you are and see beyond the mirror. Perfection is not visible from outside but lies inside everyone.

This is a very clever and creative poem. I love how you wrote it like a short story. The rhyming is really good and unforced and the syllable count is really consistent throughout which makes the poem flow effortlessly. Simply put this is a an excellent poem. Best of luck in the contest.

This was a charming poem. You make a serious point surrounded by wry and self-deprecating verse. I'm not sure the meter is perfect, but it's pretty damn close, and without any artificiality. By the way, what are "tuck-shop arms?" Very enjoyable read. Thanks.

Hi Stephendick24. Thanks your for your read and review, I tried to get the meter to work as close as I could but as I am really not perfect this will have to suffice LOL .
Tuck- shop arms are when the upper arm particulaly in women become flabby and hang down. Most women hate having this happen when they get older I will put that in my notes Cheers

Hah-ha-ha!
This was funny, anonymous poet, but it wouldn't be AS funny if it all weren't so true.
Excellent rhyming all throughout this piece.
Best wishes to you in the I Am Not Perfect contest.
