I really enjoyed your poem. Great use of rhyme and metaphor. This is a fun poem to read aloud because of the wonderful rhyme and rhythm! Well done!

Many thanks. It crashed and burned in the competition, however. Ah, well. One man?s meat?.

Mine didn't fare so well either. Yes, poetry has so many flavors and everyone has their personal tastes. I did enjoy yours!

Ciao !
First off, I learned a new word : pulchritude!
Last week photos of a recent red carpet popped up on my PC.
Most actresses were wearing fishing nets, they had all on display : boobs, huge buttocks , some were sickly thin, seriously.
Most of them produced a bad shock effect rather than an awe ( wow) effect.
On the other hand I remember one that I found beautiful... im referring to Jennifer Lopez who in 2000 was wearing a long green Versace creation.. now she had the WOW effect.
PS I'll send you a live link to your pm box .. it blocks when I try to post it here.
Enjoy!
I felt embarrassed for most of them.
once, the less a woman showed the more alluring she was.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! So shallow! (says the woman who's 67 and still keeps her hair its original color and wears eyelash and eyeBROW mascara, blush and lipstick...)
Adorable poem (though that artwork's a little bizarre, right? A little Picasso-esque?), and I hope it brings you success at the polls! xo

Thanks, Rachelle. They say confession is good for the soul! Let?s both keep on trucking!

Occasionally, maybe; we probably shouldn't do a steady diet of it, though.

To girls who try to amplify and beautify. (12)
Good on the syllable counts and form. And I find as an old girl watcher myself, that I can completely agree with this sentiment.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks, Lancellot, for the solidarity. Some of the female reviewers have been a little disapproving.
Comment from Navada
I like your use of rhyme in combination with the syllabic structure to express your appreciation for the female form. I think there's a difference between an actual sad old voyeur and one who appreciates respectfully from a distance. Hopefully your narrator is the latter. :)
