- Throw The Bra -

                                         throw away the bra
                                   opponent of useless things -
                                          aim an honor lap

                                        prefer my old couch
                                  life flies by while you're busy -
                                          laziness pays off

                                        the bra is gnawing
                                    donate it to a good cause -
                                       a quilted patchwork

                                      champagne and pizza
                                    it bubbles in the stomach -
                                        out of the doldrums

                                     release your boobs now
                                      well-being is important -
                                      doesn't look good at all

                                          waddle as a duck
                                   my habits don't bother me -
                                      stay young - live healthy

Duke Beaufort April 1, 2025 at 10:04 AM Anne-Lise, I think you've expressed this in a really good way. We have to be happy with ourselves and make the best of what we have. We certainly appreciate comfort! Smiles!!

Susan Ashley March 29, 2025 at 9:45 AM Dear Anne-Lise, I adore your set of senryu. The fantastic, liberating spirit and vivid imagery is witty and wonderful. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Joseph P. DiMino March 29, 2025 at 4:37 AM I'm all for that. Never wore one:) Thank you, Anne. Hilarious, delightful image. Loose and free with poetry! You brighten our days.

Sotto Poet March 28, 2025 at 3:38 PM Both the image and the poem hold my interest. Impressively acrobatic... Smile it up. Enjoy the day! What a lovely, sincere piece of support! Delightful to read!

Darlene De Beaulieu March 28, 2025 at 12:20 PM hello Sunshine Smile, I need my bra. Hgs. Darlene/

Jay Narain March 28, 2025 at 10:47 AM Reminds me of the burn the bra slogan in the mid-60s to 7os. The ladies were right then as well as now. It i9s better to feel at ease. Nice poem.

Sara Kendrick March 28, 2025 at 9:43 AM Good one. As one gets older and older like me, I find the uncomfortable feeling of that undergarment quite painful. LOL..I really like this one and the humor is great. The picture perfect. Sara K

Kim Rodrigues March 28, 2025 at 9:04 AM The old bra…mine was coming apart. Have two new booby traps for the times when I must cup up…lol. Enjoyed your delightful haranguing…letting “the girls” hang out…and pizza besides…lol

Tom Cunningham March 27, 2025 at 11:10 PM I remember years ago women's lib had a campaign, burn the bra lol. Must be so uncomfortable day in day out. Start the fire Anne-Lise, yes sir, freedom. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

Valsa George March 27, 2025 at 8:56 PM The picture and the verse are equally interesting. Very sportive... ! Have fun time. Enjoy life. Love and hugs!

Suzanne Delaney March 27, 2025 at 7:20 PM Great advice Anne Lise. Loose and lovely does feel good. I love the image you found, Full on hedonism, LOL

Mystic Rose Rose March 27, 2025 at 6:07 PM You give such great advice, I so love letting them all hang out lol, except when going out then I look perky lol, have a wonderful day, and thank you for the smiles my friend :)

Hilda Greenhough March 27, 2025 at 5:45 PM Unfortunately, one of our own gender invented the bra. An allergy to elastic makes these holders impossible. But scorned to not comply.

Jan Allison March 27, 2025 at 2:36 PM hahaha creased up here Anne_lise, the final stanza is a perfect ending! hugs Jan xx

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 27, 2025 at 2:35 PM I enjoyed this poem, and the title and picture, too, Anne-Lise. Thank you for sharing. :) hugs

John Read March 27, 2025 at 12:50 PM Hi Anne we only have one life so just enjoy it. Looks like the lady in the picture is. Jan Allison March 27, 2025 at 2:36 PM you both inject much needed humour into soup, thanks for the smiles xx Anne-Lise Andresen March 27, 2025 at 12:58 PM - Tried to add some humor to this everyday soup, John :) - Thank you very much for your comment :) - hugs
