Lol. I'm a guy so I dare not say anything, other than that this made me smile and it's always good to talk about things, especially if we can do so with to guess in cheek and a wry sense of humour :-)

Awe Mike, you picked a bad time to say nothing. You are such a gentleman that I guess it doesn't surprise me. It's how I get thru a lot is with humor. Y'know what they say about laughter and I certainly believe it's true. Thanks again my friend!
Comment from patricia dillon
This was very ingenious. It was very clever of you to weave together these disparate words into a description of the menopause. It did not seem forced at all.

Comment from karenina
You need not say more! Been there! Morphed that! It's all true...and we have to laugh, or we'd be weeping in our porridge! I read this one to my husband...
He deadpanned: "How's the mood swings? Am I allowed to laugh?"
Hah!
He's got my number!
So good!

Hahaha!! Yes, he has your number and I think you have mine.
I love that he has to ask for permission to laugh, but as being known as one of the biggest sweetie pies here, shows that it hits us all. Even men, indirectly! hehe! Thank you my lovely friend for a lovely review! You made me laugh and is so welcomed and so very appreciated!

I make him laugh too. We have fun teasing one another!
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
You have done a masterful job inserting those required words into your poem. If you had not underlined them, I wouldn't have known. I agree with your poem 100%. The aging stereotypes they place on women is not a one size fits all. You have cleverly completed this prompt. Good luck in the contest. For some reason I think this mystery writer is Debi. The poem reads like her style and humor. We will see.

Thanks Sandra! Hmmm, so I suppose she would know that you like bigger font too? Lol, I've heard that somewhere along the line. Thanks for the very kind comments. Always a pleasure my dear friend!

Yeah, she would. You are welcome.
Comment from amahra
Your poem is very original in terms of subject matter. I loved the seven titles you gave the stages of menopause. I'm still taking estrogen pills to off-set my discomforts. Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks so much Amahra! So you know exactly how much fun this can be.
I often pick serious subject matters and lighten them up because for some, it helps to laugh a little about it, so that we don't dwell on things that can't be changed by us. Maybe altered as I too was on so many kinds of replacement therapy for years until I just gave in. I try now to use God first and laughter to get through so much in my life. I thank you for your kind comments my friend!
Comment from Sally Law
This is so much fun, mystery poet. How clever you are and spot on! I passed menopause seventeen years ago as I am now 67. I'm not sure at 5' 10'' I will ever be a dwarf, maybe Snow Whitehead as my hair is pure white. Thank you for entering this contest on behalf of those who've missed the prompt. I have much to say on this topic. :)) :))
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

Comment from June Sargent
This, too, shall pass. We do manage somehow to survive this hideous time of our lives. Until then, we give our friends and family fair warning. And hope they proceed with caution around us. lol

Hi June
Comment from nomi338
There is a HipHop musical group called Klymax, their first hit record was titled "The Men All Pause". When you listen to it, it sounds like they are saying the Menopause. I did not get it at first, but after listening to it a few times and considering the lyrics, I have become convinced that they are using a play on words. This of course has little or nothing to do with your great, humorous poem, which I loved by the way. It is very amusing.

Haha! Nomi you & Roy are the only two guys that I heard from on this poem. I will have to look up this Klumax band and hear this song. It has greatly peaked my curiosity. I just look to shock readers and hopefully get a few chuckles back. Hearing the reviewer's laughter is always such a big thrill for me and I especially love that I got to hear yours tonight my very dear friend!
Thanks Nomi for your fun and kind words!
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is very amusing for us ladies. Don't know if men will get it unless they've survived life with a menopausal wife. You did a good job of using the words. Best of luck in the contest.

Haha! Love your enthusiasm Carol! My husband used to say that it couldn't be that bad, when I told him about the Hateful night sweats! So I told him I was going to wrap an ice pack around his privates w no cover and see how he liked the extreme temperature on him. Lol! Thanks for the fun comments my dear friend!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Though your identity may be "secret", we know you're a woman:-)
I love the lines "we still have beauty and some gleam, just takes a lot more wrinkle cream."
Next to last paragraph, switch out who's and put in whose.
Second to last line: husband instead of husbands (or maybe you have many?)
Fun poem to complement a funny picture about "the curse"
