Andrea - Yes, as far as I know all of the lines in the 'Twisted Thoughts' AND the 'Commercial Slam' series are my own creation...Of course, I would NEVER knowing plagerize!...On some I went to the internet just to make sure...Now you've got me wondering, so my plan is to do all of them now and of course, if I find anything, I will delete and issue an apology...I am going to go ahead and delete the food one now, and if I find it's all my own, repost in 3 parts as you suggested

Hahahaha.......this is so adorable! I can relate :-).....Love Roobs xxxx

Haaa!!...Bet he was a real 'hot dog' too!...And the winner is: Andrea!...Come on up Andie and say a few words to your fans! (Wild applause, whistles, etc.) anDIE!-anDIE!-anDIE!

I had a couple of one day jobs, too. I think you can find my older poems by going to Matthew Anish poetry. Happy Fourth to you and yours! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Andrea; This is good. I too had a one day job when I was young. I was not tall enough. I had to be on my toes all day, so I didn't go back. Good luck in the contest..... Lucilla

Andrea great humor in this Tanka. Warm Smiles, Connie

This is a fascinating tanka my dearest friend Andrea! A perfect idea & entry for the contest. i love it and so enjoyed reading it tonight;)). In fact, I also wrote one but I was late to enter it. I'll post it next time ;)) Thank you so much for sharing & your very inspiring & encouraging comments on my latest poem.

An adorably funny tanka - and based on a true story, no less! I love the way your mind works, lady! Thank you so much for your encouraging comments. You're right about the "stretched" couplets in my pawn shop poem haha. Had to get creative with the line length in that one! :)
