Ah! And you give us tips as well as a view of your well-shaped body! Of course, as a dancer and singer, you know the importance of good diet and exercise, too. I smiled at the "never beige" - no bland colors for you! Congratulations on the WIN!

My MIL is the self-proclaimed "Queen of Cream." No thanks!! Oy. Why bother getting dressed?!
Thanks for the nice review, Helen. I hope you have a blessed Easter. xoxox
-
So she always wore "cream"? I realized after my hair grew in all white, I shouldn't wear shades of white but darker colors to offset the lack of color.
-
Yes, exclusively cream!
Did your eyebrows stay dark? A friend of mine has white-white hair now, but her eyebrows remained black, and the contrast is absolutely stunning.
The jewel tones go GREAT with white hair, Helen. Be bold! Make a statement! xoxox
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Congratulations on your win, Elle! And very well deserved with those shapely pins! But not just a wonderful body, a pretty good head for poetry as well. You've got it all, the complete package, and one to sing about from the rooftops! Well done! Debbie xo

Love this! Congratulations on your win, too. The magenta would suit you. Makes you look like a dancer. It's hard to keep up an exercise routine, but yours pays off. Men certainly notice women's legs, so yours certainly would draw attention. (My legs are short and stubby.) Legs probably don'r show age like the face does. Great rhyming couplets. judi

Comment from Mrs. KT
Good morning, Mystery Writer!
What a wonderful, positive ode about your body!
Now that is what I was NEVER blessed with: a positive sense of self-worth!
But to this day, people always comment on my smile! In fact, as a youngster, my nickname was "Smiley!"
And I do know that I have instilled in my own daughter a positive self-image!
"No extra fries?????" Sigh...
Thank you for sharing!
Best wishes!

Haahaha!! Believe me, it's not that I don't WANT the extra fries!!
I think girls are getting better and better about accepting their bodies now, and I love that. Good for you for instilling that in your daughter. Still, I think no body, no matter how fabulous, is better than a smile. In your case, it also translates to your writing. It's always so positive and uplifting.
Thank you for this lovely review. Very much appreciated.
Comment from Topeking
This simply a very well written poem that really captivated my eyes as a reader. Firstly I admire you using an image of your body as work of art for your poem, really makes it more relatable to you and us the audience. I love the title name and the poem is like a love letter to yourself(body). I really enjoyed your tone of words it is very playful and light to digest. The rhyming scheme of age and beige, well and gel, fine and wine etc are really thoughtful and well used. I love the healthy treats(no "extra fries") line. My favorite verse in the poem is the last stanza "All this keeps my temple fine. It's aging like a well-kept wine" this was extraordinary executed! This poem really depicts that if you take good care of your body it can really age like a fine wine.

I've read them all and yours has my vote. I like the honesty, the short and sweet rhyming, and especially how you appreciate what you have. The fact that you included the third stanza, won my vote. Good luck with the competition.

This is a great poem about your body. I think this one has a great chance of winning the "your body" writing prompt. The rhyming is also perfect! Thumbs up!

Thanks for that vote of confidence, but I'm quite dubious. There were others very worthy of that position ahead of mine. I do appreciate your kind words, though. Thank you.
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Your poem shows wonderful self-confidence and contentment with your appearance. I love that! We need more of that. The use of rhyme playful and light-hearted tone to the poem This would be fun to read aloud to a young teenager that should here this positive message. The repetition of "mine" is perfect as I think it emphasizes that pride in one's body.
