This work has reached the exceptional level

Bravo Zulu, naval speech for a job well done on your loop poetry. That said
the better way for a reader to read them is to omit the repeated word. I did with your and it made perfect sense. Therefore, If I was to write a loopy poem I'd write as normal and then add the last word to the following sentence.

-Cute artwork and nice presentation, Tina.
-You wrote a good loop poem for it,
and the hula hoop was a perfect topic for a loop!
-A good job with those, the rhyme, and imagery.
-I can relate to "chocolate-y ways and means!"
-The concluding verse makes a clever ending
for this "loop-the-loop" poem!
-I liked the good natured fun in this one.
-Good luck in the contest.

I like that, as well as having some fun and dishing out the smiles, you've also told a story within the restrictive loop format, and all without it feeling too laboured. I very much enjoyed.

This is a cute one. I like the picture. The hula hoop fits him. This was a great exercise. And it was fun. Back in the sixties, just about everyone had them. Those days, people found simple pleasures. Many people share these fun memories. Thank you.

I like this humorous take on the Loop contest theme. I will make my entry today or tomorrow. Need to check the deadline but I am afraid I am up for stiff competition.

    Thank you, kind sir:) I thought, before writing this...if I can't have fun writing and laughing at myself, then I am wasting an opportunity. I appreciate the kind words and thoughts!

Tina,
I never thought of hula-hooping (that is a verb) as a way to loose weight. But it is good that it worked for you.
Nicely done loop poem. Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Say WHAT now?

Laughing with glee here!

You looped and hooped and made it all such fun I went back in for another reading and smiled!

I have a Hula-Hoop learning disability I think... I can't dance either.
Sadly, no trouble chomping on chocolate!

Too cute and just what the doctor ordered today!

Thanks for the sunshine!
