Noel Flater Poet Blank verse

Pounds, Pounds, Pounds

Pounds! Pounds! Pounds!

Step on scale, gotta lose weight, 
Pounds, pounds, pounds.
Pound in new habits, eat right, run more
Run round, round, round.

Can’t wait, step on scale, 
Sure I’ve lost weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds.

Step on scale, gained weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds. 
Pound in new habits, eat right less, run more, more.
Run round, round, round, round.

Can’t wait, step on scale, 
Sure, I’ve lost weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds

Step on scale, gained weight, 
Pounds, pounds, pounds.
Pound in new habits, 
Hammer in hand, Hammer to scale, 
Pounds! Pounds! Pounds! …

Panagiota Romios February 14, 2019 at 8:56 PM Noel~ you can reach your goal weight. Don't listen to nay sayers, give yourself time and keep writing humorous poems. You are a winner! Panagiota Noel Flater March 9, 2019 at 4:56 PM Humor makes me smile. Noel

Panagiota Romios February 9, 2019 at 1:13 PM I learned the best thing is to destroy the scale! You can try measuring with a tape measure...))) not kidding. Waist hips thighs, arms chest, etc. Keep a chart. I lost ton of inches but few pounds, I went from a 14 to a size 6! Give it a whirl. Besides that, your poem is accurate! People quit because of the scale~horrid scale. Good luck. Panagiota Noel Flater February 10, 2019 at 10:06 AM Thanks Panagiota, Congrats on your size 6. I won a Humorous contest speech, trying to keep perspective on weight loss, my goal is to lose 20 lbs.

Susan Mills January 27, 2019 at 9:33 AM My life in a nutshell. Thank you for putting it in perspective. Noel Flater January 27, 2019 at 9:47 AM Glad to give perspective. I look forward to reading your poems. NoelsArt

Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2019 at 10:12 AM Ah, yes, I can relate so readily to this one. Have been there, and back, won the T-shirt. Noel Flater January 22, 2019 at 10:31 AM Caren, winning and losing is a good thing. NoelsArt
