    Thanks Bill appreciate your lovely review. We had a time of Writer's Block there in some sort of depression but thank God we are back on deck again! Cheers.

Do you like the digital scale? I have one of the old ones, that reads vastly different every day. Sometimes I like it, ha ha. I like your acrostic, good luck, blessings...

    Thanks for the support. Still getting used to new Digital. The old Rotary was way off it seems! Hoping to see LESS Kilpos once I get back into serious walking.

This is a really clever and creative poem for the Acrostic poetry contest. I don't think that there's enough substance in your lines. This meets the contest requirements, but 6 one word lines doesn't flow very well without any rhymes. Best of luck in the contest.

A very encouraging write. If you can lost weight, that is an inducement to others to try to drop a few pounds. Your words are well chosen and encouraging. You seem to advocate bein smart about it, not going on a fad diet, for instance.. You know, it might be neat to have all your "ly" words together. Especially, intelligently, hopefully getting thinner. What do you think? judi

    Good suggestion but that would mess up the spelling I think. I onmly just changed the H word after a few said it needed a change and also I changed the heading as they said the previous heading might havedisqualified me.

    Thanks.

    You're welcome. I'm sorry. I didn't see that this was a contest entry the first time. Right. They love to disqualify people. judi

My digital scales lies too, according to my doctor's scales. Sometimes I think they tamper with those doctor scales to scare us. lol - Good luck with the weight loss. I'm battling too. I've been walking everyday and I'm going plant-based diet.

Working to get thinner is something that we can all relate to. I liked your poem and the style of poem you wrote. Very well done in words.

Your acrostic spells weight, and you use six excellent and succinct words. I do not believe I have read another acrostic using only one word for each letter to spell. Well done. Blessings. Good luck with the contest.

    Thanks Michael I was about to do that very thing. Someone else said it and I was a bit miffed, but good idea.

An Acrostic poem is a poem where the first letters of each line spell out the title. This doesn't fit the category. Nice effort though.
