"Funny New Year Resolution " Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Constance La France

Resolution this year…stop buying spree, Infinite number …shoes, jewellery! Dior purses, handbags nice, Chanel dresses, reduced price, Family panicks at purchase they see! Clear the wardrobe, full of expensive clothes… Gucci, Klein, Kors - covering head to toes, I must donate some good stuff, Don't I have outfits enough! For a lifetime of posh glamour I chose!

If you really had all that stuff, I would sure not sell it. Ha ha.

I don’t have all that stuff, and I am not a compulsive buyer, Andrea. I used to love shopping, not any more. You would be shocked to know I, and many of my friends, used to buy jewellery, when living in the Middle East. Writing this just for fun!

Awwn haha, this poem is quite resonating for me, dear poetess.. Although, I'm not a compulsive shopper but yes, I do like to buy elegant clothing and stuff that fascinates my heart..kinda weird, but I need to admit that I'm very fond of buying different types of stationary things, books etc. This limerick really made me smile as it's such a fun aura that you've created here with amazing wordplay and captivating flow! I really enjoyed reading this, keep writing and shining, sending you light :)

Dear Hiya, Thank you so much for your lovely comment. My daughter is a compulsive buyer of books and stationary things - hard to stop her. I am not that great in writing funny poems, but Limerick is my favourite form! Really appreciate your kindest comments, inspires me to write. You are a talented poet, I am really impressed with your range of vocabulary, and unique metaphors. Love ~

I can so relate to your poem, Mala! At one point in time I was admittedly a compulsive shopper especially when it came to purses and clothes. I finally corrected my compulsion and actually sold most of what I once owned to a resale shop...then used the money to pay entry fees for contests...much more satisfying! have a great evening, Sara

Thank you, Sara. I have to admit that I mentioned those fancy designer-names just for fun - but even ten years ago, I was a bit of a compulsive shopper, not on dresses, often on latest gadgets for kitchen! I have got over that...nowadays I spend money only on travels, especially to the country where I was born. You are very smart, Sara - paying for contests is a great idea! Happy Holidays, Sara.

Thanks for reading, Tom. Yes, probably your wife will. I am not a serious shopper either…just wanted to write something funny for Constance!
