I immediately felt that I was hoola hooping through your poem.

- A great poem, expanding outward and inward, unfortunately packing on pounds in the midriff section. Nothing a few more spins of the hoop cannot solve, I think...

-I love your sense of humour that shines through your work and your compassion rings throughout for less svelte figures.
I had fun and a few chuckles reading your poem. Thanks for spreading your joyful spirit. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you, Marien! It means a lot that it made you chuckle. I chuckle every time I use that hoop!

Tina,

This is a very clever way to espouse the benefits of exercise to keep the hips trim. It does help to have a waist when trying to manipulate a hula hoop. Nice job. Good luck in the contest. I appreciate seeing some humor.

    True...if I was slimmer, I maybe could keep the hoop up! Humor is always fun for me to see on here, too. Thank you so much for your time and words:)

You've written a funny loop poem about reducing the volume on your scale, not your radio. Like Chubby Checkers who twisted his way to a fitter and more slender form, you selected a piece of pop merch still available after... around 65 years of popularity. The last time I tried a Hula Hoop, I couldn't get the damn thing to go around. Maybe I'll buy one and try again, if I don't get dizzy. Anyway, Slender and Fit do a tagteam with Fat and Overfed - a match that lasts for too long.

This is a great fun poem for the site contest, as you loop-the-loop skillfully around that imposed loop with its rhyme scheme shedding inches as you go. Much enjoyed. Kate xx

Thank you for sharing this adorable contest entry with us. When I was much younger, I loved to hoola-hooped. It's been years, but it was so much fun. Thank you for bringing back that memory. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

I was struck by how this could be a poem for both children and adults - for different reasons. It looks like a child's poem at first glance, yet the message is definitely for those of us who are tempted by the sweets.

This is cute and clever and kudos for doing a loop poem (about a loop, no less!), as I find them difficult to write.

Good luck,
Pam

What a fun loop poem - bringing back plenty of memories. Maybe I need to buy one for the grandchildren, and get back into practice myself too. Lol. Well executed. Sending best wishes for the contest.

    Wendy, you should get one. They are all over Amazon. I had trouble finding any decent ones in the stores. Thank you for your time and input!

Ha ha ha, this is a fun loop poem about the hoopla hoop keeping the pounds off and slimming down your waist Tina. I'm loving the word choose and rhymes and keeping it off the ground is a trial, I love hoopla hooping myself, it is fun and great exercise, love Dolly x

Cutest artwork choice. Loop poems can drive anyone up a wall, but your poem came out nicely. All good things in moderation. I pray you maintain a healthy journey in your lifestyle change. Great work.

Good luck in the contest.
Peace be upon you :)
