Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

Woes of a Figure Conscious Mom

I do not like wearing oversized clothes,
I am a modern mom of the 21st century
I’d like to be one of the hour glass moms.

I would hit the gym to shed of soft fats
That I may put on during my pregnancy
I do not like wearing oversized clothes.

Never depend upon the household chores
To eat the foods I would rather be choosy
I’d like to be one of the hour glass moms.

If I happen to be one of the caesareans
Will hit the gym to heal the stitches safely.
I do not like wearing oversized clothes.

For a svelte figure I would do all the things,
Despite having a hectic job persistently,
I’d like to be one of the hour glass moms.

I would get back to my socialite evenings
Feel great getting back into my old clothes.
I do not like wearing oversized clothes
I’d rather be one of the hour glass moms

Kelly Deschler June 22, 2014 at 1:18 AM Many woman do feel this way when they are pregnant. But, I think the health of the unborn or newborn baby should be what the mother is focused on.... You did a great job with the contest theme. Congratulations on your win, Dr. Ram!

Richard Lamoureux June 18, 2014 at 9:58 AM You have described the plight of many women. It is sad that society has taught women that they need to look a certain way. The weight of this expectation is enormous. On reading this one again I should have given it a higher placement. Congratulations on a fine poem.

Roy Jerden May 3, 2014 at 8:09 AM Good one. You classified the poem as free verse, but it looks like a villanelle. Cheers, Roy Dr.Ram Mehta June 20, 2014 at 10:40 PM This is old poem.. Line 1 and 3 do not rhyme properly. So I thought not to term it Villanelle
