Legs

Beautiful well-defined calves that meet with curvaceous thighs; no stunning crown of glory - but a solid foundation! From the time I first stood up and toddled at seven months - till today - unfailingly they’ve carried me down life’s path. Written 6/17/12 for nette onclaud's THE CROWN OF MY BODY----A WHITNEY Poetry Contest

LEGS yes they have to carry the load all their life. Made me smile with my morning coffee. Back home and tired and heading out tonight to Saskatoon. Kids will be back here this weekend for the football game. Just had to pop in for a moment and catch up on some comments. Next week I am home I think for the week. Will catch up on reading then. Take care love phyl

Yep! Where would we be without legs? We'd have to walk on our hands, I guess! Good luck in the competition!! Best wishes, Keith :)

Well said Andrea. I remember as a child people commenting on my legs and how they would really catch the eye when I was older. I was always a runner so I had well developed legs from an early age. Now not so much since my full knee replacement almost two years ago. But up till four years ago I ran every day with my dogs even at my age which is 65 come Oct.14th. Good job here and good luck in the contest. JB

From one man's view point, I have to say. A sexy pair of legs can make my day. A face of an angel, a body to match. One day, this girl, I hope to catch. :)

Legs, helps us move forward but if we fall down let's just hope something else will be there for new support.& about that I'm actually going to the air force..I just have to get a certain score on the ASVAB so I'm studying for that now.then I'm using it to pay for college..and major in psychology..or philosophy. & I think ill be here more often..and get back on track with writing ..~always&forever Lynette

A stunning write to turn anyone's eyes and mind for watching such a magnificent beauty. Legs reveal no less beauty of a woman than her face. Love and best wishes .....… Ravindra….Andrea Dietrich
