Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Sweats and Sweets

I look a sight!  And covering my skin
are old loose sweatpants I don’t ever wear
outside the house.  That means I’m staying in!
No lipstick. No mascara, and my hair
is tied back in a ponytail.  I need
to shower. It could use a good shampoo!
Instead, I grab a magazine to read.

There isn’t too much else I want to do.
But wait! There’s one more thing before I flop
down on my comfy bed. I go to get
some Häagen-Dazs with chocolate on top.
And don’t begin to think I’m finished yet!
Some candies too, for sweets are what I crave
when wearing sweats inside my woman cave!

Barbara Campbell July 8, 2015 at 8:56 PM I randomly picked this poem to read. It was perfectly timed. Someone gave me somewhat of a hard time about being content doing "nothing." Resting is doing something. I enjoyed reading the poem. Barbara

Paul Callus June 20, 2015 at 6:47 AM A relaxed day at home, being comfortably you:) I like the way you tackled 'sweat', and 'sweet' comes naturally to most women. I saw the "no visitors" sign hanging outside:) // paul

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 18, 2015 at 12:07 PM Cute, Andrea! I think we all have days like this. Reading these contest entries, I'm getting more sweet than sweat. I'm getting tempted to cheat on my diet! Hugs, Rhonda
