Resolved Again

Resolved: I’ll make a MOCKERY of death, metaphoric wake may open my eyes. I’ll ADORN kitchen walls with shibboleth - an OPULENCE of signs which look passé. using words like “Get Up and Exercise”, “Calories Count” and “Don’t Forget to Weigh.” I will EXULT VICARIOUS free time: tasting all those shows on the loss of weight, eating less, letting those dinner bells chime, keeping my IMPETUS under corral. A SILKEN body I will re-create giving resolution, new rationale. This year, I’ll cross the CHASM of my death, downfall of pounds, weight’s passing does take time. August 25, 2018 contest: Eight-Word Challenge 8, John Hamilton the eight words are capitalized for easy recognition.
