A truly dark poetic tribute to the macabre side of reality. I thought the poem made me engage my imagination, which is what all good poetry should do.

That's a very kind compliment.Thank you so much! I'm especially glad that you enjoyed it! It is a bit macabre that's for sure. I kind of like this spooky, sort of lesson type poem. Thank you for your time for your break. Breaking, open your condoctors.I appreciate very much!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
What a visual to start with, Lea! I knew we were in for a treat. And you didn't disappoint with that very active imagination of yours! Rotunda (love the name) has the perfect diet, making her the star attraction, until the diet goes a little further that anticipated. A message to us all in your Gothic-style humorous verse - "Beware lies remedy." But, after the trauma of it all, there's nothing left to do but have a cup of tea - the universal panacea! Well done, Lea, and good luck! This is memorable and a great contender! Debbie

I like this poem about the Grim Reaper having a cup of tea before he begins his daily job of rounding up souls for his master Satan. I like the image chosne

Lol. He got on the wrong diet. Poor guy, he should have stopped dieting when he lost enough he could stand and have all the ladies undressing him. Your poem is well rhymed and humorous.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. It's a great comment Beth awesome! You had the kind of this idea of a really fat person that went on this wacky diet. I lost pounds and was very pleased until he couldn't stop losing pounds.Kinda like that movie thinner by stephen king. Yep, definitely the wrong diet.Thanks again, my friend.I hope you're having a great night!
Comment from Tim Margetts
This amazing poem draws so much on the myth of easy ways to weight loss and the way they play on the fragile self-worth of some people.
Easy cures only ever work to make easy money for theconmen touting their snake oil.

Thank you Tim! I'm please that you enjoyed it! Absolutely, right.There's a lot of con men and women out there! It was fun to write it because reminded me of the stephen king movie thinner. Thanks for your kind words and your review and your time. Most of all, make sure you do something nice for yourself. Have a great night!

The nice thing I did for myself this evening was to complete the next chapter of my book and post a poem about my best friends, written several years ago, it was about time I put it in front of the world :-)

Comment from Pearl Edwards
you've written a good rhyming poem, and with a lesson to be learnt, to not listen to all those promises that tell you how you look is the secret to a happy life.
Well done with this one Lea,
cheers

Some diets make one feel this way. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. This man took the diet a little bit too far. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

Thanks Dolly! I've some funky ideas lately. Lol some things are just not worthy of being out there. Silly things about frogs and worms and stuff. Such as the life and mind of a writer, I think. Thank you, Dolly, once again for you. R.Great review.And I hope your day's been amazing!
Comment from Begin Again
A little tongue-in-cheek about a marvelous diet that leaves you nothing but a skeleton, I think. Beware of what you ask for because sometimes the giver isn't what he's believed to be. Loved the humor and the creepiness wrapped into one.
Smiles, Carol

Thank you Carol. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it does have a sense of macabre, but also a little humor too, which is what I wanted to try and do. I'm glad it came across. Thank you again.Give yourself a big hug!
