Comment from Ogden
Miranda, you overlook the guilty consciences of us non-gluttons who unhappily acknowledge our trespasses, knowing full well ( ; )
the unhealthfulness of catering to our tastebuds. Only closet cheaters can lie about it.

I really enjoyed this read, Miranda Langston. You're exactly right with what you write. We all rationalize what we do but the truth comes out in the end. Nice job.

You're right about that Miranda. Nothing is to be gained by being dishonest with yourself when the facts are right in front of you. I like the message in this well written poem. The food looks good also. Well done!

If you want to to teach a lesson, do it with a few witty words, and make our foolishness known to all. We then do not argue your point.

Yes food diaries rock. It is the only way to control your food intake especially for someone like me as I am very greedy. I love the artwork that you have chosen for your great little 20 syllable poem.
Good luck in the competition. Cheers Jen.

A very well-written poem about controlling our diet and what we eat is very important when we get older and less active. It is good for us to be not overweight.

Egads! Lucky I didn't have cookies for breakfast before I read this. A meal like the one pictured could feed me six times. I am a chubby, but as I grow older and have developed gestational diabetes I have to really be good. So your write spoke right to me. For whatever reason we need to watch our food intake you, are right on the mark, be truthful with yourself. Nicely done, dear Poet. I would say it in Klingon, but am a little rusty.

Although I've never had a plate of food in front of me with as much food as there was in the picture, I will admit to sometimes eating more than I should...I've watched some people at a well known buffet style restaurant, filling their plate and later leaving a lot of it on their plate as they leave...I believe sometimes one's eyes are simply bigger than their belly...I guess for some people it would take a medical reason for them to limit the amount of calories the consume...that's what I think about when I sit down to my table for a meal...
This is a thoughtful entry to the contest...good luck...
Warmly,
Victoria

Hello Miranda,
I just had to look up the word prevaricate ... I think I'm guilty of this sometimes!
Great use of your 20 syllables (all present and correct!) I like that you rhymed your poem. Nice entry for the contest - Good Luck!
Best wishes, Debra :)

Well said, with a tough , no nonsense manner and honesty. Your short verse gives a punch to the meaning and uses a bit of humor too. Well done on this write.
