Funny. Truthful. A debate we all have participated in within ourselves at some point. Good rhyme scheme, flows well. Good job and good luck. Thank you for your entry. Easy and fun read.

Cute. Well done, and realistic for the young at heart. Once a senior, I sent my alterbeing to the attic to collect dust just like the collectibles I store d there. Haven't seen it since.

Very well done. I have that same internal debate about Pilates, every single week. Your poem is lighthearted and humorous, and I enjoyed it. Best wishes for the contest.

    Thank you, Wendy. I glad you got my attempt at lighthearted humor but I really do have these debates with myself as I search for excuses.

What a thoroughly enjoyable poem this is. I can totally relate to it as I exercise regularly as well and these debates and consequent resolutions do happen often. Hahaha. Nice job!

I am sure you`re not the only one who spells procrastination first thing in the morning. I think there are many who stand in front of the mirror and say, why doesn`t this go away as they look at their waistline. Imagine that. I am working out today, noon to be exact. Thanks for the reminder.

    Thank you for a nice review. Yes looking in the mirror is a big motivator. Exercise helps you feel and look better.

We all know that feeling. A humorous poem about a daily battle we have with ourselves. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This morning, I did not wish to exercise but I did. I rode a bicycle to the bakery and had cake for breakfast ð???

Just a minor correction in your introduction,

"I'm always lookinf for reasons not to exercise."

Looking.

A fantastic poem. Well presented. Have a great day.

A relatable poem written with wit and lightness. The flow is good. The poem stays on point. The images are clear. The picture sets the mood for the poem well.

Thanks for sharing. Good luck.

I can identify we every word here as I have the same battle every day as I know I need to exercise and feel guilty if I don't go, so I make myself go. Loved the rhymes and flow, a fun write for the contest, love Dolly x

I've always had a strong alter ego, but mine has saved me on a couple of occasions, and I think that's God, even when I was rolling drunk, my sober half was goading and guiding, but I still think it's a guiding hand, always had my welfare in mind, beautifully written in abab rhyme. Well done, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy, I appreciate the review and comments. I guess if didn't have that side of me pushing me to do something that seems like it might be unpleasant, Id likely not be healthy at all.
