Roy Pett Poet Monorhyme

My Bmi

Like a king I sit upon my throne
over time with affluence I've grown
friends, and family are now not known
through life style I now live all alone,
once fit, healthy body sleek with tone
of a brave gladiator of Rome
this situation I can't condone 
self belief, selflessness must be shown
my life being cut short, can't postpone 
pity will not solve my plight I groan
all failures must now be overthrown 
especially at thirty one stone.

Susan Ashley November 13, 2017 at 7:56 PM I love your take on the contest theme Roy. Original and creative with excellent rhymes and content. Wonderfully expressed and enjoyed! Good luck in the contest! Roy Pett November 17, 2017 at 5:18 AM Thank you so much for your very kind comment Susan, it is sometimes hard to know what the sponsor is looking for so unfortunately failed in this one, thanks again your support is always appreciated. :))

Jan Allison November 12, 2017 at 3:29 PM what a fabulous take on the one stone theme Roy, I initially considered a poem about weight but the poem I wrote instead got a weight off my mind!:-) hugs Jan xx Roy Pett November 13, 2017 at 10:25 AM Thank you so much Jan, I understand writing about our traumas in a poetic way helps us though I can't understand how anyone can be so hurtful as described in your heartbreaking entry in this contest, we must keep on writing.

Andrea Dietrich November 10, 2017 at 7:20 PM wow, you found a GREAT way to fit in ONE STONE!! It really gets hard with age to keep that weight off. WEll done and unique. Roy Pett November 11, 2017 at 5:00 AM Thank you so much for your very kind comment Andrea, this is not about me, though my bmi is 31 which classes me as obese?? 5' 10" and 15 stone and fit as a fiddle, thanks again for your support.
