I like this poem about body parts, and what they all mean. I like the image chosen of a mummified figure reading a book about body parts. it is in a way a meta poem of sorts.

This is a neat poem. You made it funny by making puns of some of the body parts. I really got a chuckle out of that last one about the eyes being last to go because the Die late or dilate.

I love the comedy you have shared in this brilliant little piece.
One of my favorite-The parts inside my body that you can't see with your eyes

Some have been taken out and now there's room to organ-ize

Love play on words.
God bless,
Steve

    LOL, when you find out who I am and see the last poem before this you will know why I filled in the wrong area. I just can't tell you yet. Haha.

Sorry I don't have a six. This was funny. The last line was the perfect pun. It's amazing how quickly the decline starts. I remember snickering about people having trouble going up or down a curb. I'm definitely understanding it now. Great sense of humor. Gretchen

Excellent author. Your only issue is in line four, which has the right number of syllables, but falls awkwardly on the accents. It would be better to have an extra syllable so that your last accent falls on the first syllable of MIRROR:

The positive in that is I can't see NOTHIN in the mirror

(There are plenty of other solutions available, but that seems like a simple straightforward one)

I really enjoyed this.

    Well Simian, I am so very honored by your six stars today. You have given me advice before and it has always been very much appreciated, as it is today. Here in our state we pronounce some things a little different than some, so I don't think of mirror as a two syllable word. Yet I know it is. It just slipped by me this time. So I will definitely change it and make it sound right for everyone but this Scandinavian American. LOL. Thank you so very much and you will know who I am by the end of the day. (SMILE)

    I hope you took it as a compliment as I figured you would see the humor.
    I think a lot of you and would feel bad if you took it any other way.
reply by SimianSavant on 16-Sep-2024
    I liked it! And you packed a lot in there. It just has some small issues with meter -- I can leave a detailed review on it if you like. How much longer is it promoted for?

Well written. Reminds me a bit of myself. Thank God it is humoristic and only parts are true. :

Just one clarification. Do you think the comma in the line:

"I should have taken them to church, instead and have them graced"

should have been after "instead" instead of where it is?

Loved the play on words in "The pupils will be last to go, cause they will both di-late". Best for the contest.

Super shout. I thought, I was kicked in the ass. I admire your strength, facing these challenges against you. Love that attitude: I will, despite. All these statements given in my opinion, pertaining this particular read.

Ah, I love this, mystery poetess, and the humor line by line. I especially love:

I know when its my time to go, these body parts will wait
The pupils will be last to go, cause they will both di-late.

A hilarious poem in rhyming verse. A happy tonic for my day!
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the vote.
Sally Law :))

Hi
This is a witty poem about how a body seems to fall apart as we age.
I like the positive outlook on failing eyesight. Not being able to see yourself in the mirror. Now we have to figure out which parts are fiction and which ones are true. i like the put at the end.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Enjoy your weekend.
Joan

-Good artwork and nice presentation.
-You did a good job with your poem.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-I would think that most people are
faced with things that happen to their
body when aging.
-I like your lines about your joints and
you manage to get in a little humor
with your ortho doctor's response about "a bone to pick."
-It is important to keep your brain sharp. I read, do crosswords,
and write on FanStory, as well as read and review.
-A good closing couplet; good luck in the contest!
