Fat

fat each cell expertly hangs on like a brown leaf in springtime clinging for dear life, then falls in a storm gone?

Got that right, John. Life can put it on, and diligence is needed to take it off. LOL.. Your visit added a special touch. Sara

Kim, slang to mean Pretty Hot and Tempting. I was not meaning that kind of fat for sure in my poem. LOL..Of course, for some men a large woman is just that. I had an Uncle who would say of a large woman man, she is built. Sara

Love the humor in return but I am not really familiar with the Phat very much but have been exposed enough to know it is either a kid's movie or toy or a song or a group or something. LOL..Way behind the times in Ga. Sara

Hi, Sara. I like this. I think the 5 syllable line lacks an extra syllable. You could say "the" spring.

Victor, probably would have to apply poetic license to get by with it. Sara
