Weight training is underrated and we all should do it whether we are male or female at any age, building muscle helps support our bones and encourages us to live longer, I enjoyed your few words here Jade, love Dolly x

This is very clever. Without the picture I would have had a multitude of potential objects teeming through my mind to go with the poem. My favourite would have been his girlfriend.

    Glad you got my little twist, I wanted it to have a sexual tone. Both make us feel good when done. Thanks for your wonderful review.

Well, this poem reminds me of not only the physical exercise that might be happening, like seen in the picture, but also of how us writers might be sweating, as we plug away at words, trying to find more writing strength in the practice of staying active in pursuit of a writing dream. :) (of course, that could just be me.. :) )

Contest ready. An interesting idea. Bodily training is good up to a point. Some people do become obsessed with themselves if not careful. If you look after your body for the first 40 years it will look after you for the next 40 years.
Best wishes and every success

    Do you do pressups, lifts and all that sort of thing? I am impressed!

    No, no longer have the energy, at my age stretching is all I can do, and light weights.

I'm not sure if the picture is supposed to depict what you're describing or not. The CEC committee is sometimes touchy about that stuff. Good luck in the contest.

This is a fine poem but I thought a Haiku is always supposed to be about nature. You know, things dealing with animals, the sea, trees, mountains, and plant life. But, good luck in the contest.

    The contest is in the haiku style, about anything. Thank you for your review.

    I meant no disrespect, and I know you were simply following the contest guidelines. But it's difficult when you know what you know: I googled the definition for you:

    Senryu is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 or fewer morae (or on) in total. However, senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious.

This 5-7-5, Stronger, has the proper formatting and finds a man engaging with a dumbbell a she defies ghravity again and again.
