This was a clever entry, and the humour is well-expressed in a gentle life-lesson. Thank you for sharing this, with a great illustration as well. Best wishes for your entry.

Blessings on you , Wendy, for the nice comments. I felt good when you called it a life-lesson. Take care
Comment from gansach
I've never tried a Senryu, but I certainly can identify with the feelings expressed. Losing weight is a daily struggle. Your accompanying artwork is so vibrant as is the red background. It pops. Might I suggest a bit larger font size to match that pop and make your words stand out more? This is a very good effort for the competition. Good luck!

I read your poem over and over again, my take is it is a women getting a divorce. I don't know if that was your meaning, but your poem made me laugh. Any poem that moves me gets a thumbs up from me.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Losing weight is often a state of mind, much the same as gaining weight I expect. Emotional eating can be the cause. I loved your presentation for this contest, love Dolly x

Hi Dolly, nice to hear from you. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments.

Hi
Nice mix of artwork, words and metaphor. The last line is a strong metaphoric pun. Holding grudges hurt the holder of the grudge as much as the victim of the grudge.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Joan

Hah! This is SO fitting (although my clothes are a bit tight) -- I'm so glad to read something that feels so REAL! So, I ate three potato chips today! I checked... The sky hasn't fallen down. Sometimes the "weight" we need to lose is the pressure we put on ourselves to be flawless. (As if that's even a "thing" --

This is a great entry in the Senryu Yourself contest. Even though you are referring to yourself, your poem is relatable because you express the exact sentiments of many people, me included. Your artwork pairs perfectly with your poem. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
The artwork is beautiful, it drew me into reading what this was all about. I love the message. It makes sense and I can relate to the feeling of wishing to lose weight.
We often give ourselves a hard time when it comes to losing weight or some other bad habit we have held onto for too long.
This is written well and speaks to the mindset of so many of us.

Great I love the idea of being able to lose weight by forgetting a burden after all there is the saying carrying the weight of the Earth on your shoulders. A clever way with words.
