Lord, Please give me a sign if you think I eat too muc55 total reviews

This poem is funny, and so many of us can relate to the situation described in your poem. Covid-19 flushed people from their gyms and stadiums to the hideout of their homes (with free access to tv/Internet and a full-stacked fridge). Best regards :)

Actually Joanna, on Dec 28, I said enough is enough, and quit smoking. I didn't even wait for New Years. I sure picked a bad time for that, but with a couple months smoke free, I wasn't about to fail again. So now it was much worse when covid struck, and getting tastebuds back from quitting, I just kept asking God to get me through it. I really wasn't as bad as I put in my poem, but I gained a lot of weight, and took it all off again by the end of 2021.
Thanks for the great review and kind comments my friend.

Enjoyed your humorous poem and that picture of the pig in the sky is hilarious as a sign from God. Yes, the pandemic has caused all kinds of physical and mental health issues. Best wishes in the contest!

The picture used to accompany the piece is a perfect fit. The poem itself is wrll composed with a good deal of humour and light hearted approach.
Well done.

Hahaha! First of all, this humorous poem is current and relevant. Your poem speaks to experiences we've all had since the beginning of Covid. You can tell you put a lot of thought into this entry because you covered so many pertinent 'stay at home activities.' involving food. This is quite imaginative and I wish you the best in the contest.

I think many people turned to food and put on loads of weight whilst in lockdown, there was nothing else to do!! This is a good contest entry, written in couplets. Well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

This is a dang fine poem for this contest. It is funny and creative and covers all the problems we have had the last couple of years. You also found a marvelous picture for the well-written work. Good job. Terry.

You've written a somewhat relatable poem with entertaining rhymes throughout. The idea of asking for a sign when you already have the answers right in front of you is classic human nature and I love that about this poem. Thanks!

Comment from Frank Malley
This funny poem of 7-beat lines worries over an urge to eat gone wild. Eating is a continual, compelling temptation, especially in combination with TV - which this poet explores. There are a few typos, and the poem could use a little rhythmic tightening up; but as is, it's a good, funny poem. I tried a rewrite on the first five or so couplets:
Lord please shake your head no! If you think I eat too much
I'm locked in, Covid's here, and food's become my crutch.
(present tense)
Everything I think about looks like scrumptious food
Salty, crunchy, sweet or meat - it always looks so good.
It would sure be helpful if I put aside the butter
Talkin', eatin' popcorn, turns an answer to a mutter.
Sometimes I'm truly hungry, most times I'm truly bored
I've got enough of the righteous stuff fillin' up my hoard.
Sittin,' broodin', burpin', watching stupid TV more
When creamy ice cream beckons, it's a call I can't ignore.
I think a bag of crunchin' is the umm you get from chips;
Hmm - ginger ale or cola sure goes good with chicken strips
It was fun to have a try. Be well! Frank

Frank, I thank you for your review and kind comments. I just found out that I missed my h in crutch so was on my way to fix that. And yes I did so much tightening, I was afraid it would no longer be funny, so it's a rhythm poem that if you don't start on the right beat, it won't sound as good. And just a secret pet seen you and me my friend, I really wasn't quite that bad, but it was hard. And please point out other typos too besides the word crutch as I love your feedback Frank. Or read it again and let the commas be your guide. Lol

Are you my twin? I am on the same page with so much of what you humorously wrote. Although I am apolitical, you could get my vote. I have always been a foodie, but not big on exercise, so yeah, you guessed it, my waist is on the rise, as my will power slowly dies. Heaven must help me as I am no longer willing or able to help myself.

Nomi, I may not be your twin, but maybe your long lost sister. I am glad you liked my poem and you probably are the first to read it since I took off the bold font. Was it easy to read and one more question if I may, was the part about when pig's fly in there? I just added that and wondered if it worked?Thank you my awesome friend for the awesome review and comments

Yes it was an easy read and the part about pigs flying was also included. wonderful poem my food loving sister.

This is a wonderful poem that I'm sure applies to many. I know for certain it applies to me! I love food so much, and because we have to eat, there's no escaping it. This poem is quite delightful, best of luck in the contest. :)
