Hey, you too Harry! I also thought your entry was a beauty, and am honoured to share first place with you. I especially loved your last stanza and that last line...the place is lit...lol!
Comment from Janet Foor
LOL! This devine poem is just what I needed today. Witty and fun, creative and clever from start to finish but when the drunk talk started, I was truly laughing out loud. So happy this one won the contest.
Well done.
Blessings

And again, thanks so much for your laughs, your kind words and those shiny six stars! I'm happy you got a giggle out of it!!
Comment from Frank Jauregui
When I first started reading your poem I thought wow, does she not have spell check - then I realized the meaning behind your title, "From a Skewed Perspective." Very humorous, self deprecating and well written.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This poem is so creatively-composed, including the "drunk-talk," and vividly descriptive of your imperfections. What a hoot! Made me laugh out loud. The "waist" part particularly resonated with me. My thigh is now the size my waist was when I was eighteen.

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think this is a good entry for the I Am Not Perfect writing prompt.
This short verse tells of having a wine and chocolate habit.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Gail Denham
Will the real "you" please come forward. Not when drinking to much. Well done poem that shows how those changes can take place - and what regret, remorse might follow. You did well with the language also.

Wonderfully funny! I about lost it when your printed words started sounding strange. Then it kept getting worse so I laughed louder! Great job!

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This becomes a tragicomedy. Many find this great comedy. However, some may be saddened by this senerio. Alcoholism is a mysterious disease. Some don't think it is a disease. They think the person has control over their drinking. This would be a good subject for discussion.

Indeed it would lol! But comedy is the only real objective in this poem. Let's not be TOO serious.
Thanks for your review and comments xo
Comment from Minglement
This is a very clever entry for the I Am Not Perfect Contest. I loved the beginning and it was fun but as it went on and degenerated, it became very funny well done. I know there were some intentional misspells in the later verses but did wonder about your second line. 'then whinge about what happened', and wonder if you meant 'whine'. Good job - good luck.

Comment from Susan Larson
I can just see this being performed at an open mike poetry reading. All these pompous poets with their fantastic philosophical "fluffery" and then you come up with this! I love it! Six stars for that mental image!
